00:00:00.570 --> 00:00:03.810 align:middle line:90%
"A Moral Tale."

00:00:03.810 --> 00:00:05.160 align:middle line:90%
'' 'All this for me?'

00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:08.130 align:middle line:84%
He asked, looking
down on her body.

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:11.520 align:middle line:84%
'Aha.' she said, 'arms
stretched out upon the bed.'

00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:14.400 align:middle line:84%
And she looked up at him
with an amused smile.

00:00:14.400 --> 00:00:16.230 align:middle line:90%
'I think I'll take it.' he said.

00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:18.900 align:middle line:84%
And wrapped it up in the
sheet that lay beneath her.

00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:21.210 align:middle line:84%
He brought the four
ends together in a knot

00:00:21.210 --> 00:00:23.580 align:middle line:84%
and slung the body
across his back.

00:00:23.580 --> 00:00:26.820 align:middle line:84%
He was on his way home
to show his latest find.

00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.890 align:middle line:84%
He had discovered each
body was different

00:00:28.890 --> 00:00:30.750 align:middle line:84%
and that altogether
they amounted

00:00:30.750 --> 00:00:33.060 align:middle line:90%
to a survey of the female form.

00:00:33.060 --> 00:00:35.730 align:middle line:84%
Something an anthropologist
could appreciate.

00:00:35.730 --> 00:00:37.840 align:middle line:84%
And he was thinking
of becoming one but--

00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:38.340 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:39.780 align:middle line:90%
--there was a hitch.

00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:41.880 align:middle line:84%
He was bringing
back more bodies and

00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.830 align:middle line:84%
with place to store
them in the house.

00:00:43.830 --> 00:00:46.650 align:middle line:84%
And it was expensive
elsewhere at a cost.

00:00:46.650 --> 00:00:50.010 align:middle line:84%
He persisted, he went
broke, his wife left him,

00:00:50.010 --> 00:00:53.010 align:middle line:84%
he had to give up his studies,
he had to go back to work.

00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:55.350 align:middle line:84%
And was left with
memories, which

00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:57.850 align:middle line:84%
to relieve himself
in his unhappiness,

00:00:57.850 --> 00:00:59.310 align:middle line:90%
he would relate at work.

00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:02.700 align:middle line:84%
Where in amazement, he was
urged to write them down.

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:04.769 align:middle line:84%
The manuscript was
published, the book sold.

00:01:04.769 --> 00:01:07.980 align:middle line:84%
There was money again to
return to his studies.

00:01:07.980 --> 00:01:10.830 align:middle line:84%
Moral: in adversity, we
find our goal in life."

00:01:10.830 --> 00:01:12.030 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:15.380 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:01:15.380 --> 00:01:22.000 align:middle line:90%
