Aesop's Fables X
We've all read Aesop's Fables in one form or another. These interesting stories captivate our attention and always leave us with a moral. One of those morals is represented below. Can you find it?
Jack and John were having dinner together, catching up on old times. They had decided to go to a nearby Thai restaurant. It was years since they'd met and they had a lot to talk about indeed.
The salad with peanut sauce arrived. While Jack dreamily enjoyed every bit of the salad and found it really delicious and well prepared, John was busy loosening his tie and taking great gulps of air, trying not to panic. John was soon experiencing a stomach ache, in addition to his other symptoms.
In their enthusiasm at seeing each other, Jack, who had ordered the entire meal, had forgotten that John was allergic to peanuts!
