Bitter Truths II: More Horseradish by Lemony Snicket
May 22, 2007 
I couldn't help it but I wanted to add this hilarious excerpt from the introduction of Lemony Snicket's Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid. It is a little story on a girl who is looking for the wise man. Enjoy!
O, great wise man," she said, " I have been wondering so many things. Is life more than sitting at home doing the same thing over and over? Wise man, is life more than watching one's relatives do unpleasant things, or more than the grim tasks one must perform at school and at work? Is life more than being entertained by literature, wise man, or more than traveling from one place to another, suffering from poor emotional health and pondering the people one loves? And what about those who lead a life of mystery? And the mysteries of life? And, wise man, what about the overall feeling of doom that one cannot ever escape no matter what one does, and miscellaneous things that I have neglected to mention in specific?
But the man was already shaking his head. "You have it all wrong," he said. I'm not a wise man - I'm a wide man."
