Chapter 19 argument

I dreamed that I was preparing a composition in the classroom of an elementary school, and asked the teacher for advice on how to make an argument. "Difficult!" The teacher cast a slanted gaze from outside the glasses circle, looked at me, and said. "I'll tell you something— "The family gave birth to a boy, and the whole family was overjoyed. When the moon was full, they held it out for the guests to see—probably because they thought it was a good omen. "One said: 'This boy is going to be rich.' And he got a thank you. "One said: 'This child is going to die.' And he got a combined beating.

"Those who say they will die are bound to die, and those who say they are rich are allowed to lie. But those who tell lies will be rewarded, and those who say they will be beaten will be beaten. You..." "I would like neither to lie nor to be beaten. So, sir, what shall I say?" "Then you'd have to say: 'Ah! The boy! Look! Then.... Ah! Ha! Hehe! he, he he he he! '" July 8, 1925.
