CS14-TheManWhoBoasts |
A conceited tourist, upon completing his journeys, boasted about his
daring adventures and the fascinating places he had visited. During
a show and tell session, he arrogantly described how he had leaped
across a bridge from one end to the other.
A zealous young person, tired of listening to the man's exaggerated
tales, challenged him to demonstrate the ease and agility he claimed
to have while jumping over a bridge, as evidenced in the photos he
had chosen. Upon hearing this challenge, the proud traveler found
himself frozen in fear, drenched in perspiration.
The moral of the story is to avoid boasting about accomplishing the
impossible or exaggerating one's abilities. It's better to let one's
actions speak for themselves. |
