A PhiIcsopher's Fable

Arthur Aull is responsible for this one:
 Folly. Genius and Common Sense once went walking and came to a stream. Genius. having his head in the clouds. naturally started to wade across. paying no attention to the depth. The waters soon went over his head. and he was drowned Common Sense hunted for safe way to get across. and finally he found foot log As he got out about the center of the stream the log swayed. and he fell into the water and sank to rise no more Folly stopped at the bank of the stream to amuse himself by throwing pebbles into the water and watching the waves. He sat upon the moist. cold bank until he caught cold which developed into pneumonia. of which he soon died. Moral.-It doesn't make much difference. after all. whether you are a genius. a sage or a fool. You'll get it sooner or later anyway" Exchange. e
