15. A student dunce, after dreaming that he stepped on a
nail, is bandaging his foot. His colleague asks why, and
upon learning the reason, observes, ‘No wonder they call us
dunces! Why on earth do you sleep barefoot?’
16. A student dunce loses a scroll. He looks for it without
success for many days. Finally, while he happens to be
eating some lettuce, a corner of the room catches his
attention. There lies the scroll! Later, he runs into a friend
who’s bemoaning the loss of a set of clothes. ‘Stop your
whining,’ says the dunce. ‘Instead, buy some lettuce, eat it
while looking into the corner of the room, and behold, there
you’ll find the clothes!’
17. His friend back home writes to a student dunce in
Greece to buy some books for him. The dunce neglects the
request, and when after some time he again runs into his
friend, he says, ‘You know that letter you sent me about the
books? I never got it.’
18. A man goes up to a student dunce and says, ‘The slave
you sold me died.’ ‘By the gods,’ counters the dunce, ‘when
he was with me, he never did any such thing!’
