fool us once

Fool us once—

Fool us twice—

Fool us three, four, five times—

Fool us seven times seventy-seven times—

Even then, the wise one won’t invite shame to the party. No matter how many times they’re fooled. 

They might stop believing you after the first time they’re fooled. But they wouldn’t bring down shame on their worst enemy, much less themselves.

Thank you. Let’s have a great day.
