mmxgn@0: a man came into a wood one day with an axe in his hand and begged all the trees to give him a small branch which he wanted for a particular purpose
mmxgn@0: the trees were good-natured and gave him one of their branches
mmxgn@0: what did the man do but fix it into the axe head and soon set to work cutting down tree after tree
mmxgn@0: then the trees saw how foolish they had been in giving their enemy the means of destroying themselves
