- THE WISDOM PLAN
- In order to be wise, and consequently very happy one has only to be without passions. In the second place, I will always be sober. Next, I must think about my fortune. I have friends, I shall keep them since they will have nothing to dispute me for.
- THE AFFLICTED LADY
- The Afflicted lady took him into a perfumed room and had him sit down. Memnon advised her so closely, gave her counsels so tender, that neither of them could talk business and they no longer knew what point they were at. The armed uncle entered.
- The last thing that escaped Memnon was that he was capable of forgiveness for much money. Memnon went back home ashamed and despaired.
- HIS INTIMATE FRIENDS
- "If I stay home alone, my mind will be busy with my sad adventure. Its better to make a frugal meal with my friends. I shall forget the stupid thing I did this morning"
- READ FROM LEFT TO RIGHT
- DURING DINNER... They find him a bit gloomy they get him to drink to dispute his sadness.
- Memnon one day conceived the insane plan of being perfectly wise. There are few men though whose heads this mad idea has not at some time passed.
- THE JUDGEMENTS
- Memnon out of patience goes to the court with plaster in his eye and a petition to ask the king for rustic against bankrupt as he meets the judgment of every person who passes him.
- Oh, what a horrible man!
- Having thus made his little plan of wisdom in his room. Memnon saw two women walking under some plane trees. One was old and the other one was young and pretty and seems preoccupied. She sighed and wept. Our sage was touched, not by beauty but by the distress he saw her in. He went down to console the young Ninevite with wisdom.
- MEMNON'S DREAM
- Night came ; Memnon lay down on some straw near the wall of his house. A fever seized him; in the fit he fell asleep; an ld a celestial spirit appeared to him in a dream He was all resplendent with light. He had six wings, but neither feet nor head not tail, and he bore no resemblance to anything.
- Who are you?
- Then give me back my eye, my health,my wealth, my wisdom
- Those are adventures that never happen to us in the world we inhabit
- Your good genie
- Memnon decided to go with his intimate friends to forget, in the sweetness of their company, the stupid thing he did.
- (CONTINUATION) MORAL LESSON
- They propose a well-ordered game after the meal. Memnon plays: they win all he has in his purse, and four times as much on his word
- A dispute arises over the game, it throws a dice-box at his head and puts out one of his eyes. The wise Memnon Is carried back home drunk, with mo money and minus an eye.
- Memnon went to the Receiver General Of Finances of Nineveh to get some money to pay off his intimate friends; They tell him that that morning his debtor manages a fraudulent bankruptcy which places a hundred families in dire alarm.
- He sleeps off the wine a bit; and as soon as his head is clear he sends his valet to the Receiver General Of Finances of Nineveh.
- This moment arrived. He kissed The ground 3 times and presented his petition. His gracious majesty Received Him very favorably and gave the memorandum to one of his satraps to report to him.
- Memnon, having thus in the morning renounced women, excesses at the table, gaming, all quarreling, and above all the court, had before night been duped and ruined by a beautiful lady, got drunk, gambled, had a quarrel, had an eye put out and been to court, where they had laughed at him Petrified with astonishment and stricken with grief, he goes back home with death in his heart. He wants to go in, he finds the bailiff stripping his house of furniture on behalf of his creditors. He remains under a plane tree, almost unconscious; there he meets the beautiful lady of that morning, who was walking with her dear uncle who burst out laughing on seeing Memnon with his plaster.
- Good eve Monsieur Memnon; Really, Monsieur Memnon, I am very glad to see you. By the way, why lose an eye? (And she passed on without waiting for an answer)
- You impress me as a one red joker to address yourself to the king rather than to me, and even more of a joker to dare to ask justice against an honest bankrupt whom I honor of a chambermaid of my mistress. Abandon this affair, my friend if you want to keep that eye you have left.
- Memnon dreamed about a celestial spirit telling that everything must be in the proper place.
- It is certainly worthwhile to have a good genie in a family in that one of two brothersmay be one eyed the other blind, one lying on straw, the other in prison.
- What a fine country! What! Where you come from you have no rascal women who dope a poor fellow, no intimate friends who win his money from him and put one of his eyes out, no bankrupt, no satraps who laugh at you while refusing you justice
- Your lot will change. It is true that,you will always have only one eye; but except for that you will be happy enough, provided you never from the stupid plan of being perfectly wise
- No, none of all that. We are never duped by women, because we have none; we never commin excessess at table, because we do not eat; we have no bankrupts, because with us there is neither silver nor gold no one can put out our eyes, because we do not have bodies fashioned like yours; and satraps never do us injustice, because in our little start everyone is equal.
- In watching over the other globes that are entrusted to us; and I come to console you
- And what world do you inhabit?
- My Country is five hundred million leagues from the sun, in a little star near Sirius, which you can see from here
- I was with Hassan, your older brother. he is more to be pitied thaf you. His gracuous Majesty the king of India, at whose court he has the honor to be, hay had both his eyes put out for a petty indiscretuon, and right now he is in a dungeon, his feet and hands in irons
- Alas! why didn't you come last night to keep me commiting so many follies?
- My Lord without women and dininf, how do you spend your time!
- "A WILLPOWER WITH NAIVE CONFIDENCE AND COOPERATION OF LIFE EVENTS. FATE IS DESIGNED OTHER THINGS TO THWART PLANS."-THE END
- "AH! I shall believe that only," replied Memnon "When I have two eyes again."
- Franxene Kane Tagayun I EXECUTIVE
- Not quite but it comes close; everything must be its proper place.
- I am much afraid. That out little terraqueous globe may be precisely that madhouse of the universe that you do me the honor of telling me about
- But then, certain poets,certain philosophers are very wrong to say that all is well
- Then that is something impossible to attain
- As impossible. as to be perfectly able perfectly strong, perfectly, powerful, perfectly happy. We ourselves are very far from it. There's a globe where all that found; but in the hundred thousand millions of worlds that are dispersed in the extensive space, everything goes by degrees. there's a less wisdom and pleasure in the second of there than the first, less in the third than the second. And so for every one is completely mad.
- They are very right considering the arrangement of the whole universe
