A Weak Man going down-hill met a Strong Man going up, and said:
“I take this direction because it requires less exertion1, not from choice. I pray you, sir, assist me to regain2 the summit.”
“Gladly,” said the Strong Man, his face illuminated3 with the glory of his thought. “I have always considered my strength a sacred gift in trust for my fellow-men. I will take you along with me. Just get behind me and push.”
