ME: Not natural to men? HIM: No, not to men. Everything living, including human beings, seeks benefits for itself at the expense of whoever they belong to. And I'm sure that if I left the little savage to go his own way, without speaking to him about anything, he'd want to be richly clothed, splendidly fed, liked by men, and adored by women, and would like to gather round him all the fine things of life. ME NOT NATURAL TO MEN HIM NO NOT TO MEN EVERYTHING LIVING INCLUDING HUMAN BEINGS SEEKS BENEFITS FOR ITSELF AT THE EXPENSE OF WHOEVER THEY BELONG TO AND I'M SURE THAT IF I LEFT THE LITTLE SAVAGE TO GO HIS OWN WAY WITHOUT SPEAKING TO HIM ABOUT ANYTHING HE'D WANT TO BE RICHLY CLOTHED SPLENDIDLY FED LIKED BY MEN AND ADORED BY WOMEN AND WOULD LIKE TO GATHER ROUND HIM ALL THE FINE THINGS OF LIFE
ow to speak the truth, and that's not always welcome, as you know. HIM: But I envy your talent not because I want to speak the truth but in order to tell lies well. If I could write, do up a book, turn out a dedicatory epistle, intoxicate a fool with his own merit, insinuate myself close to women. ME: In all that you're a thousand times more capable than I am. I wouldn't even be worthy to be your pupil. HIM: How many great qualities wasted. And you aren't even aware of their value. ME: I collect back everything I put into them. HIM: If that were the case, you wouldn't have this coarse coat, this muslin vest, these wool socks, these thick shoes, and this ancient wig. ME: I agree. One must be very inept if one is not rich after stopping at nothing to become wealthy. But the fact is there are people like me who do not consider riches the most precious thing in the world--strange people. HIM: Very odd. We aren't born with this frame of mind. One has to acquire it, because it's not natural. RKET ME I SPEAK BADLY I ONLY KNOW HOW TO SPEAK THE TRUTH AND THAT'S NOT ALWAYS WELCOME AS YOU KNOW HIM BUT I ENVY YOUR TALENT NOT BECAUSE I WANT TO SPEAK THE TRUTH BUT IN ORDER TO TELL LIES WELL IF I COULD WRITE DO UP A BOOK TURN OUT A DEDICATORY EPISTLE INTOXICATE A FOOL WITH HIS OWN MERIT INSINUATE MYSELF CLOSE TO WOMEN ME IN ALL THAT YOU'RE A THOUSAND TIMES MORE CAPABLE THAN I AM I WOULDN'T EVEN BE WORTHY TO BE YOUR PUPIL HIM HOW MANY GREAT QUALITIES WASTED AND YOU AREN'T EVEN AWARE OF THEIR VALUE ME I COLLECT BACK EVERYTHING I PUT INTO THEM HIM IF THAT WERE THE CASE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE THIS COARSE COAT THIS MUSLIN VEST THESE WOOLSOCKS THESE THICK SHOES AND THIS ANCIENT WIG ME I AGREE ONE MUST BE VERY INNEPT IF ONE IS NOT RICH AFTER STOPPING AT NOTHING TO BECOME WEALTHY BUT THE FACT IS THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO DO NOT CONSIDER RICHES THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WORLD STRANGE PEOPLE HIM VERY ODD WE AREN'T BORN WITH THIS FRAME OF MIND ONE HAS TO ACQUIRE IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT NATURAL
