I would say the answer is D. One should never bet on anything.

But this isn't any kind of a moral to the story. This story wasn't intended to sound didactic, or to judge anyone. It is a humorous account of a man who tricks another man by wasting his time on a story about a third man who was tricked. So, it is a story about unreliability and relativity of stories and people's accounts in general. The narrator came to inquire Simon Wheeler about Leonidas Smiley, but Wheeler, having no information about him (or not being willing to give it away), takes the opportunity to talk about another Smiley, a man who liked to gamble.

Read Shakespeare's "Sonnet 19.”
elena-s [515]

Sonnet 19 is one of the more than a hundred sonnets published by William Shakespeare in 1609.

It is considered a typical Shakespearean or English sonnet because of:

-The use of three quatrains (a stanza or poem consisting of four lines) followed by a couple (two successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre). Here is an example of a rhyming couple from Sonnet 18

<em>So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, </em>

<em>So long lives this and this gives life to thee.</em>

-It follows the typical rhyme scheme: abab, cdcd, efef, gg

-The widespread use of iambic pentameter based on five pairs of metrically weak/strong syllabic positions. For example, "<em>But I forbid thee one more heinous crime"</em> (19.8).

Answer: It's said that words are mightier than sword because by sword you can kill one person at a time but my words you can create massacre. Use words with caution because you are liable for what you say. Because once a word is said you can never take it back.
