There was once a very loud-mouthed ambitious athlete who was not, however, very talented.
One day, tired of being booed at by the crowd that watched his feats.
He decided to make a move and seek his share of praise elsewhere.
He returned after a few weeks and then he started forever telling stories of his victories.
" In London," he would say, " I jumped so high that I was out of sight of the crowd watching me. If you do not believe me you can go and ask anyone who was there in the crowd."
" There is no need to do that," said a listener. " Why don't you shut your eyes, think that you are in London and jump out of our sight immediately?"
