9
Whoever teaches a fool is like one who glues potsherds together, or who rouses a sleeper from deep slumber.
10
Whoever tells a story to a fool tells it to a drowsy man; and at the end he will say, "What is it?"
11
Weep for the dead, for he has left the light behind; and weep for the fool, for he has left intelligence behind. Weep less bitterly for the dead, for he is at rest; but the life of the fool is worse than death.
