8. The Editor’s Answer
Many people think that they can write stories. They write stories
and send them to magazines. When the magazines do not accept
them, these people become angry. A lady ones wrote a long story.
She sent it to a famous editor. After a few weeks the story came
back to her. The lady got angry. She wrote to the editor. “Dear Sir!
Yesterday you sent back my story. How do you know that the story
is not good? You did not read it. Before I sent you the story, I pasted
together pages 18, 19 and 20. When the story came back yesterday,
the pages were still pasted together. Is this the way you read all the
stories that you receive?”
The editor wrote back. “Dear Madam! At breakfast when I open
the egg, I don’t have to eat all the egg in order to discover that it is
bad.”
