In Which One Midwest Man-in-Black Confers, Converses & Otherwise Hob-Nobs with his Fellow Hob-Men (& -Women) Concerning the Sundry Ways of the Famed but Ill-Starred Tribe of Witches.
Of Education and Chainsaws
A True Parable
It once so happened that a great thunderstorm blew through a certain pagan festival. In its aftermath, it was discovered that a tree had fallen and crushed a tent beneath it.
(Fortunately, the tent was empty at the time, and no one was injured.)
A certain man, a forester by trade, then—with parental consent—instructed the festival's teenage boys, his own son among them, in the safe use and handling of chainsaws.
In no time at all, under his careful supervision, the fallen tree was cut into billets that, when duly dried, will feed the fires of future festivals.
“Dude, that was awesome!” said the teenage boys.
