The Astronomer
One astronomer was out every night to observe the stars. But one day,
while he was walking around looking up at the sky, he accidentally fell into a well. “Hello! Help. Get me out of here,” he shouted.
A passerby heard the voice and came close to the well.
He looked inside the well and found the astronomer at the bottom of the well. So he said, “Well, well, Mr. Scholar.
You can see what’s in the sky so well but didn’t see what’s on the ground?”
You should tell this story to those who boast triumphantly that he’s doing something remarkable, but can’t seem to do ordinary things found in everyday life. The end |
