Henry

     Once there was a young boy named Henry.

     Henry was very wise but no one would listen to him because he was so young. Then one day Henry dressed up like an old man and went to the fountain where all the wise old men sat and philosophised. They were impressed by the ideas and wisdom that the apparent stranger possessed and he soon had the whole town coming to him with their problems. One day a woman was so grateful that she threw her arms around him and in her excitement pulled away Henry's disguise. After he had been exposed the people were very angry with him for lying and they would not listen to him anymore. Then Henry went to live in a swamp, away from the foolish people. Occasionally someone who had herd of his wisdom would seek him out, and he was always happy to help those who looked for him, the end
