Contentedman courteously explained that he was not interested, for the very good reason that he had everything he wanted.
"I believe Busyman also lives here," said Opportunity. "Where is he? I know he would be glad to see me."
"Indeed he would, but he's out. He's always busy running around. You're not the first Opportunity that he's missed. Opportunities have been knocking here regularly for years, but he's never at home. I tell him it doesn't pay to be so busy."
Opportunity walked away with dejected mien.—Life.
How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds,
Makes ill deeds done!
—Shakespeare.
