在斯威夫特博士家附近，有一位富有的老婦人，她時常打發仆人給他送禮物。斯威夫特博士接受她的禮物，但從不給小廝任何酬謝。一天，斯威夫特博士正忙著寫東西，小廝沖進了他的房間，把書一扒拉，將一個包裹扔在書桌上，說道：“我的女主人送給你兩只兔子。” 斯威夫特轉過身來說：“孩子，包裹可不是這樣送法呀。現在，你坐在我的椅子上，看看我是怎么送的，并要記取這個教訓。” 小廝坐了下來，斯威夫特走出去，敲了敲門，等待回音。小廝說“進來”。博士進了門，走到桌旁說道：“先生，我的女主人向您致以親切的'問候，并希望您收下這些兔子，這是她兒子今天早晨在地里打的。” 小廝回答說：“謝謝你，我的孩子。向你的女主人和她的兒子致謝，謝謝他們的關心。這兩個先令是送給你本人的。” 博士笑了，打那以后，斯威夫特從沒忘記送小費給小廝。
