I Was a Man of Wisdom, Not a Wall That Is About to Topple

Lily liked to chat. Once, her husband broke a toe when he tripped on the carpet that they had finally installed in their house. Her youngest son overslept on the very same morning that a man hacked at random pedestrians with a knife on their street. He's the laziest of the three, but now he says it pays to be lazy. Mincea said that a man of wisdom does not stand next to a wall that is about to topple.
