A PROFESSOR AND A BOATMAN
Once a philosopher was crossing a river in a small boat. During the passage he asked the boatman.

- Have you ever heard about philosophy ?

- No, - said the boatman, - I’ve never heard about it.

- I’m very sorry for you, - said the philosopher. “You’ve lost a quarter of your life.”

Some minutes later the philosopher asked the boatman again.

- Have you ever heard about astronomy ?

- No – replied the boatman. – I’ve never heard about it.


  • I’m really sorry for you, - said the philosopher. - It’s a very interesting science. You’ve lost a second quarter of your life.

Some minutes passed and the philosopher asked the boatman again:

- But I suppose you’ve heard something about algebra, haven’t you?

- Not at all, - replied the boatman.

- In that case, - exclaimed the philosopher, - you’ve certainly lost a third quarter of your life.

At that moment the boat ran on a rock. The boatman jumped up and cried:

- Have you ever learnt to swim ?

- No, - cried the philosopher. – I’ve never gone in for swimming.

“In that case I am very sorry for you indeed, – said the boatman sadly. You’ve lost your whole life because the boat is sinking.
