Wilson the fool

Courage does not mean not feeling fear, but facing it and controlling it. And if ignorance of the feeling of fear is courage; the flea will be the bravest creature! Because it is ready to attack you at any time, whether you are awake or asleep. It will not take into account your huge size compared to its small size, nor will it consider how strong you are and that for it, the armies of the earth are gathered against a small baby! The flea lives all its days and nights in the embrace of danger, yet it does not feel fear, just like a man walking safely in the streets of a city that was threatened by earthquakes ten centuries ago. When we talk about men who do not know fear, we must put the flea at the top of the list. Author: Mark Twain Translator: Noha El-Shazly Number of pages: 254
