“The Boasting Traveler”
A man once went abroad on his travels, and when he came
home he had wonderful tales to tell of the things he had done in foreign
countries. Among other things, he said he had taken part in a jumping-match
at Rhodes, and had done a wonderful jump, which no one could beat. "Just
go to Rhodes and ask them," he said, "Everyone will tell you
it ‘s true." But one of those who were listening said, "If
you can jump as well as all that, we needn‘t go to Rhodes to prove
it. Let‘s just imagine this is Rhodes for a minute; and now —
jump!"
Deeds, not words.
