There was a very wise philosopher whose name was Diogenes. This
philosopher had been taking a bath in a pool and was standing by a cave
in the sun. Alexander of Macedon passed with a great force of cavalry.
He saw the philosopher, spoke to him and said: O man of miserable
existence, ask me something, and whatever you wish I will give it you.
And the philosopher replied: I beg you to remove yourself from my
light.
