MAD HATTER 4

 

PARABLE OF THE STUDENT

FOR THE EXAMINATION SEASON

"And it came to pass early in the morning
of the last day of the semester there arose
a multitude smiting their books and
wailing, and there was much weeping and
gnashing of teeth, for the day of judgment
was at hand and they were sore afraid. For
they had left undone those things which
they ought not to have done. And there

was no help for them.

"And there were many abiding in their rooms
who had kept watch over their books all
night, but it naught availed. And some,
there were who arose peacefully for they
had prepared for themselves the way and
made straight the path of knowledge. And
these wise ones were known to some as the
burners of the midnight oil, but by others
they were called curve spoilers.

"And the multitude arose and ate a hearty
breakfast and they came to the appointed
place and their hearts were heavy within
them. And they had come to pass, but some
to pass out.

"And some of them repented of their riotous
living and bemoaned their fate, but they
had not a prayer. And at the last hour
there came among them one known as the
instructor, he of the diabolical smile,

and passed papers among them and went on
his way.

"And many and varied were the answers that
were given for some of his teaching had
fallen among the fallows, while stil
others had fallen among fertile minds and
still others had fallen flat.

"And some there were who wrote for an hour.

Others wrote for two, but some turned away

sorrowful. And when they had finished,

|hey gathered up their belongings and went

quietly away, each in his own direction and

cach one vowing to himself in this manner:
(continued)

' shall nol pass this way again.’ Il is a long road
that has no turning."
