Every one know --continued his reasoning-- that if the Horses were able of imagine to God we it would imagine in shape of horseman. How get close to the fables With precaution, like any small thing. But without fear. Finally will discover that none fable is detrimental, except when it reaches to see in she some lesson. This is bad. If not bad, the world would be govern by fables of Esopo; but in which case would dissapear whole that make interesting the world, like the rich, the racial prejudices, the color of the underwear and the war; and the world would be then very boring, because not would wounded for the wheelchairs, or poor to who help, or blacks to work in the docks, or pretty people for the magazine Vogue. So, the best is get close to the fables looking to laugh. That's. Here this a book of fables. Runs to buy it. No, better I am give you it; you see, I've never laughed so much.
