A School Teacher
A school teacher used to take a short nap every
afternoon. When his pupils asked him why he did so, he said
that he went to dreamland to meet ancient sages. One
extremely hot day some of the pupils fell asleep in the
afternoon. When the school-teacher chided them, they said:
“We went to meet the sages in dreamland.” “What did
they say?” demanded the teacher. “We asked them if a
school- teacher came there every afternoon, but they said
they had seen no such person.”
