The Fool's Teacher

Once upon a time some men tried to teach a fool.

They put four oranges before him and tried to explain mathematics.

But the fool only gobbled them up.

Then they gave him a holy book to read.

But in winter he fed it to the fire to warm himself.

So they beat him up.

And then the fool went proudly round the neighbourhood and showed his bruises
and said see “I've got learning.”
