A Story of Boasting: Why not you Make Leap Now?

Once a man had travelled in foreign lands, boasted very much about his heroic things after returning to his own country. 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-and as to that, there were in Rhodes many persons who saw him do it, and whom he could call as witnesses.

One of the bystanders interrupting him, said: "Now, my good man, we accept that this be all true there is no need of any witnesses. Suppose this is Rhodes; try to make your leap as you have done in Rhodes."
