To the larger side, everything is brought by the brain for the heart-judge, or conscience, to pass judgment on. If he pronounces the thought or feeling worthy, it goes into the memory, where it stays; otherwise it is rejected. [↑]
THE PROUD FOX AND THE CRAB
傲狐辱蟹
One day a fox said to a crab, “Crawling thing, did you ever run in all your life?”
“Yes,” said the crab, “I run very often from the mud to the grass and back to the river.”
“Oh, shame,” said the fox, “that is no distance to run. How many feet and legs have you? I have only [[142]]four. Why, if I had as many feet as you have, I would run at least six times as fast as you do. Did you know that you are really a very slow, stupid creature? Though I have only four feet I run ten times as far as you do. I never heard of any one with so many feet as you have, running so slowly.”
