THE
DREAMING ASTRONOMER
There
lived an astronomer who was very much involved in his observations. He often
used to look up at the sky at night and start observing the stars.
Once,
as he walked looking up at the stars, his leg slipped and he fell into a ditch.
He started shouting.
A
passerby, who heard his shouts, helped him out of the ditch and asked, “How did
you fall into this ditch?” The astronomer replied, “I was so engrossed in my
observations that I did not notice the ditch”.
The
passerby asked “How do you expect to discover things when you fail to take note
of things under your nose?” The astronomer walked away with a sad face.

DREAMS
