SWEEPERS

Said a philosopher to a street sweeper,"I
petty you. Yours is a hard and dirty task."
And the street sweeper said, "Thank you,
sir. But tell me, what is your task?"
And the philosopher answered,"I study
man's mind, his deeds and his desires."
Then the street sweeper went on with his
sweeping and said with a smile,"I pity you
too."
