The Astronomer
AN ASTRONOMER used to go out at night to observe the stars.
One
evening, as he wandered through the suburbs with his whole
attention fixed on the sky, he fell accidentally into a deep
well.
While he lamented and bewailed his sores and bruises, and
cried loudly for help, a neighbor ran to the well, and learning
what had happened said:
"Hark ye, old fellow, why, in striving to
pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on
earth?' |
