The boasting traveler (Aesop’s fables)
A man came back
from a tour and boasted about his adventurous journeys.
He talked at length
about the different people he met and the amazing feats that got him fame and
praise from people everywhere.
He
went on to say that he went to the Rhodes where he had leaped to such distances
that no man could ever match his feat.
He even went on to
say that there were witnesses who would vouch for his words.
Hearing the man
boast so much, a smart bystander said,
“Oh good man, we
do not need any witnesses to believe your words. Imagine this place to be
Rhodes and leap for us”.
The lying traveler
didn’t know what to do and went away quietly.
Moral
He who does a thing well does not need to boast.
