HOROSCOPES True nobility is exempt from fear

ALEXANDER THE Great thundered into Greece, and the people fled in fear before the Macedonian conqueror.

One can imagine Alexander’s surprise, then, as the path before his galloping horse was suddenly blocked by a small, wizened man, lying in the road practically nak- ed, calmiy taking a sunbath beside a large barrel.

‘HEAVENS ABOVE

It was the philosopher Diogenes, and the young Alex- ander was momentarily nonpluss-

ed by his first encounter with the

legendary teacher.

“Greetings, old philosopher! Why did you not run away with all the others?”’

“Well, as you can see, I am

; taking a sun bath.”’

“I admire your courage, old man! To show my admiration, may I grant you a favor?”’

**As you can see, J am taking a sun bath, and you are casting your shadow over me. It would indeed ‘be a favor if you could move over a little.”’ -

Delighted, Alexander said, “‘Who are you, old one?”’

“I am Diogenes, the Philoso- pher.”’

“Do you know who I am?” (This with great pride.)

“Oh yes, you must be Alex- ander, with his conquering armies. No-one else could make such a noise!’”’

This delighted Alexander even more, and he decided to have some sport with Diogenes.

“If I were not Alexander, 1 should like to be Diogenes.’’

‘“*‘Hmph! If I were not Diogenes, I would surely not like to be Alexander!”

‘*But why not? I am Alexander the Great! No one has had such a amarvelous life as I have!”’

Diogenes squinted against the sun and studied the young war- rior, flushed with excitement and triumph. ‘‘Tell me, Alexander, what will you do after you occupy Greece?”’

“Why, then I'll occupy Per- sia!’’

“*And after Persia?”’

“*Then I will conquer Egypt!’

*‘And after Egypt?”’

“Then [ll go in triumph to Africa and india!”

““Very well, Alexander. Let us suppose that you have conquered the whole world. Whar will you do then?”

Alexander’s face clouded in thought, and he was silent for a long time. Finally he said, ‘Well, 1 think that I would withdraw into my little garden in Macedonia and plant my flowers and fruit trees and enjoy the peace.’

“Ah, my young Alexander, my brave and foolish conqueror! Why do you not do that right now? Why do you first have to conquer the whole world before you can enjoy your garden in Macedonia?”’

Diogenes lived on to the fullness of his years, peacefully teaching others his simply philosophy, and

taking sunbaths beside his barrel. Alexander was killed in the midst of his conquests, and never saw his little garden in Macedonia. March 22 to 28, 1992
