48.The Boy Bathing
A BOY bathing in a river was in danger of being drowned. He called out to a passing traveller for help, but instead of holding out a helping hand, the man stood by unconcernedly, and scolded the boy for his imprudence.
“Mister!” cried the youth, “try to help me now and scold me afterwards.”
❖ Counsel without help is at times quite useless.
