The Prophet
Aesop Fable: The Prophet
A wizard, sitting in the marketplace, was telling the fortunes
of the passers-by when a person ran up in great
haste, and announced to him that the doors of his house
had been broken open and that all his goods were being
stolen.
He sighed heavily and hastened away as fast as he
could run. A neighbor saw him running and said, "Oh! you
fellow there! you say you can foretell the fortunes of others;
how is it you did not foresee your own?’
