Kiedy byliście mali, być może ktoś wam czytał banalną bajeczkę - słowo "banalną" znaczy tutaj: "niewartą czytania" - o chłopczyku, który wywoływał wilka z lasu. Bohaterem tej bajeczki jest mały męczydusza, który krzyczy "Wilk! Wilk!", chociaż wilka nie ma w pobliżu, i za każdym razem łatwowierni wieśniacy pędzą mu na pomoc, aby przekonać się, że to był tylko żart. Ale raz chłopczyk krzyknął "Wilk! Wilk!" wcale nie dla żartu - tylko nikt mu już nie przybiegł na pomoc. Wilk zjadł dowcipnisia, i na tym, Bogu dzięki, bajeczka się kończy.
Morał z niej płynie oczywisty: "Nie osiedlaj się tam, gdzie wilki hasają na wolności" - chociaż ten, kto wam czytał tę bajeczkę, na pewno twierdzi, że jej morał brzmi: nie kłam, bo pożałujesz.

Lemony SnicketBut we can also ask for something we are much more likely to get, and that is to find a person or two, somewhere in our travels, who will tell us that we are noble enough, whether it is true or not. We can ask for someone who will say, “You are noble enough,” and remind us of our good qualities when we have forgotten them, or cast them into doubt.

This feeling is not unlike the sinking in one's stomach when one is in an elevator that suddenly goes down, or when you are snug in your bed and your closet door suddenly creaks open to reveal the person who has been hiding there.
Lemony SnicketI don't know if you've ever noticed this, but first impressions are often
entirely wrong. You can look at a painting for the first time, for

may find it very pleasing. The first time you try Gorgonzola cheese
you may find it too strong, but when you are older you may want to
eat nothing but Gorgonzola cheese.
