A
farable of Jesop
“a
bean, a donkey, and the moon”
A bean, a donkey, and the moon undertook
a journey together. They decided to travel by night because the bean and the
moon feared being boiled and eaten by day. The bean feared men; the moon was afraid
of the sun. The donkey liked the empty night road as long as the others were
with him for company.
After six days they arrived in Athens. They spent two nights there,
gazing into windows, watching the philosophers sleep. The third night they
returned home, happy to believe they had become none the wiser.
