Original Fables 2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. "How wise I am!" cried the finger-post to a willow-stump by his side. "Are you?" said the willow. "Am I?" indignantly retorted the post. "Do you see my arms? Are not the name to the great town, and road to it. and distance from it, plainly written there?" "Ah, yes!" said the willow. "Then you must acknowledge how superior I am to you. Why! I am a public teacher." "True, indeed," answered the willow, "and learned you are; but, as to wisdom, I see little difference between you and me. You know the way to the city, I believe, and are the means of enabling many to find it; but here you have stood these twenty years, and I don't see that you have got a step farther on the road than I have, who don't profess to understand anything about it."
