The Wise Villager
The Wise Villager
A villager got atop a tall tree
And couldn't get down
He shouted for help
and villagers soon arrived
They looked at each other and asked
'does anyone know how to get him down'
'I know the way' remarked one
'Get a rope and throw it to him
in the tree and ask him to tie it around him''
The villagers were glad at the hint
and proceeded accordingly
when the villager atop the tree came down
they went to pick him up
'Oh my God! he's dead', they screamed
and looked angrily at the wise guy
who had suggested them the method
to get the poor hung up villager down
'Not my fault, friends'', responded the wise one
'Whenever someone fell in the well
I pulled him out the same way
and he was always Alive!''
