Drink the Sea

Elena Sunbeam
Publisher

Once upon a time, the Greek philosopher Xanthus very foolishly bet with a scholar that he could drink the sea dry.  Alarmed, he consulted Aesop, his wise slave, who had been helping his master out of difficulties many times.

"To perform your wager," said Aesop, "you know is impossible, but I will show you how to evade it." They accordingly met the scholar, and went with him and a great number of people to the seashore, where Aesop had provided a table with several large glasses upon it, and men who stood around with ladies with which to fill the glasses. Xanthus, instructed by Aesop, gravely took his seat at the table.  The beholders looked on with astonishment, thinking that he must surely have lost his senses. "My agreement," said he, turning to the scholar, "is to drink up the sea.  I said nothing of the rivers and streams that are everywhere flowing into it.  Stop up these, and I will proceed to fulfill my engagement."
