Harry’s wisdom is much in demandHarry visits a great university
Chapter 29
And so it happened that there were no appearance fees or ticket turnstiles anywhere in sight when Harry visited a great Institute in Philadelphia,
2hWhich had been named after one of the city’s greatest citizens,
3And hundreds of people accompanied Harry on his tour of this very famous Institute,
4Where he saw many scientific devices,
5And other peculiar things,
6Including a plastic human heart the size of an elephant,
7Which Harry walked through with some of his followers,
8And when some of them remarked that it was all a waste of time,
9And that the plastic ventricles and the red light and the big beating sound were too phony to believe,
10Harry chastised them, saying, You are ungrateful followers indeed:
11Here is a city which has gone out of its way to show you what a big heart it has,
12And instead of being impressed,
13You carp like natives,
14And talk about how iplastic and jphony it all is,
15As if it mattered,
16kWhich it doesn’t,
17At all,
18Unless you take advantage of this great opportunity to learn that immense power can be gained with nothing more than a smile,
19aBecause the man who says what people want to hear is always the wisest man in the world,
20To idiots.
21And then the followers were ashamed,
22And began speaking loudly about how the bheart of Philadelphia was the greatest they had ever seen,
23And how proud and happy they were to walk all over it,
24And a bunch of other excrement like that,
25Which made the people of Philadelphia very very happy,
26And still they had paid no money for their happiness.
