Once upon a time there was a man who had often travelled to foreign
lands, and on returning to his own country boasted very much of the many
wonderful and heroic acts he had performed in different places he had
visited.
Among other things, he said that when he was at Rhodes he had leaped
to such a distance that no man of his day could leap anywhere near him
as to that, there were many persons in Rhodes who saw how he did it and
whom he could call as witnesses.
However, one of the people who were standing by, interrupted him saying:
«Now, my good man, if this all be true there is no need of witnesses.
Suppose this to be Rhodes, and leap for us». The man felt ashamed and
confused as he certainly couldn’t do that.
And the people around said: «He who does a thing well does not need to
boast».
