34. A student dunce visits a sick friend and asks him how
he’s feeling. But the friend is delirious with fever and unable
to speak. So the dunce leaves in a huff, saying, ‘Well, I
hope I’m sick someday, and you visit me, and I don’t give
you an answer!’
35. A student dunce buys stolen vestments. To make them
unrecognizable, he smears them with pitch.
36. Whenever he meets people, a student dunce has the
habit of estimating the cost of their clothes. His father hears
about this and scolds him. ‘Father,’ says the dunce, ‘you’ve
been listening to slander, and probably not even from a
reliable source.’ ‘Well, it was So-and-So who told me.’
‘Him!? You’d believe someone whose suit cost less than
fifty drachmae?’
37. A student dunce is trying to sell a horse. Somebody
comes and starts to check the horse’s teeth. So the dunce
asks, ‘Why are you checking its teeth? I just wish it could
trot as well as it eats!’
