The Story of Tim
Transcribed from the 1913 Thomas J. Wise pamphlet by David Price
"The Story of Tim" by George Borrow and Thomas James Wise is a translated tale from Russian folklore, dating from the early 20th century. This book falls under the category of a folk tale, capturing a narrative about thievery and cleverness through its protagonist, Tim. The story blends humor and adventure, reflecting the traditional themes of cunning and resourcefulness found in folklore. In this tale, Tim, a sharp but simple lad, is apprenticed by his father to a pair of highwaymen. Under their tutelage, he engages in a series of thieving escapades, during which he cleverly outsmarts his mentors while trying to claim a prized cloak and a pig. Tim's intelligence and quick thinking allow him to regain the stolen pig twice, ultimately leading to a resolution where the thieves must pay him for their failed attempts to swindle him. Throughout this amusing story, Tim's resourcefulness shines, and he outmaneuvers the thieves, illustrating the timeless message of wit triumphing over brute force.
