THE TALE OF REGINALD WALKING STICK
72
Reginald
Walking Stick
felt he knew
everything.
“Learn
something new?
What for?” he
said.
He didn’t get
a better job,
because he
didn’t think he
needed to do
anything new. He didn’t go to new
places, because he didn’t think he
needed to learn anything new.
One day his wife Isabella brought home
a wonderful new machine for making
breakfast. She tried to show him how to
use it, but Reginald wasn’t interested.
