"Don't worry," said Gud, "I have changed all things, so that what you answered in your examination is the truth and has always been the truth and all contrary belief are false and always have been false."
"Thank you so kindly," smiled the girl, "but there is just one thing more. I can't understand the difference between an equilateral triangle and an isosceles triangle—and I just hate all triangles."
"Forget them," consoled Gud, "for I have destroyed all triangles."
Just then the girl noticed in alarm that the apples which had been on the ground were dropping up and alighting on the tree.
"Be not alarmed," said Gud, "I only changed the law of gravitation as it applies to apples."
And now they saw a procession coming through the orchard headed by the President of the Academy to proclaim the stupid girl as a virgin prophetess who had revealed to that world many great truths that had been hidden from the minds of the old masters. And when the old masters saw the apples that lay about the girl dropping up, one by one, to the tree above her, they became filled with holy zeal and abject worship and bowed down humbly before her and cried:
"Hail, hail, prophetess, for the end of the world cometh, and thou, in thy holy wisdom, must tell us what we should do to be saved."
"Oh, forget it till next week," said the girl, "and then you will see me in my new-style bathing suit."
And Gud departed from that place in great sorrow, for once again he saw a world confounded and worshiping a fool.
