by Clare Povers


A story.
A wounded man lay, arrow-struck upon the ground. " Ho ho what have we
here said one to another". Said the first man, "I could make a good
profit writing an erudite study upon arrows, the make of arrow the
manufacture...and so he mused on .Lost in conjecture.
The wounded man bled on.
"I the big ego, could like you brother, make a wonderful erudite
study upon the history of warfare, how many warriors fell in battle,
from which  country the Chief came, perhaps find out who shot the
arrow.  and so he mused on, oblivious lost in thought, he wandered
away.
The wounded man bled on.

"Pull out first the arrow" said the Enlighten One as he Stood By.

So the arrow-struck man was relieved of his sorrow  and lived happily
everafter.
Project question: What happened to the two "brothers"?
