The Point Is They Laugh At What You Say

A foolish man went on a journey, and wherever he traveled, people tricked him out of his belongings, saying they needed his help. Eventually he was naked and, ashamed to be seen, he went into the woods. There he met monsters who wanted to eat him, so they tricked him into giving up his arms and legs and even his eyes, until he was nothing but a head. The last monster, as he munched on the traveler's eyes, gave him a piece of paper that said "fool," and the traveler wept for joy, because no one had ever given him anything before.

If I had to choose who to be in the story, I would always choose to be foolish man weeping with joy. I would rather be a fool than a monster. I would rather give than be given.

Wouldn't you?
