A philanthropist was walking on the sidewalk and met a fool going along in a weelchair.
“How did you become crippled?” he asked.
“I loved a girl, and wanted to win her heart. So I bought a weelchair like the one her crippled father uses, and I always went about in it, so that I would feel familiar to her.”
“How unusual. Did you win the girl?”
“No,” the fool answered, ”for I have actually become lame after not using my legs for months, and then I found that my sweetheart was not willing to be bound to a crippled man as her mother was.”
