231.The Man Who Promised the Impossible

September 8, 2013 AESOP TALES, EUROPE, GREECE

A POOR man was very ill, and not expected to live. As the doctors were about to give up hope for him, he appealed to the Lords, promising to offer up to them a hundred oxen or less – and more gifts too – if only he recovered.

The man’s wife, who was at his side, asked him:

“And where are you going to get the money to pay for all that?”

The man told her:

“Do you think I might get better so that the Lords can call me to account?”

❖ Men readily make promises which in reality they have no intention of keeping.
