A Huron Abroad
If your nurse has told you that Ceres presides over corn, or that Vishnu and Xaca have become men several times, or that Sammonocodom has come to cut a forest, and that Odin awaits you in his room toward Jutland, or that Mahomet or some other made a journey into Heaven; finally, if your tutor then comes to shove into your brain what your nurse has already engraved into it, you will carry it for the rest of your life.
Will your judgment rise against these prejudices? Your neighbors will cry out and declare you impious, and even threaten you; your dervish, fearing to see his income diminished, will accuse you to the Cadi, and this Cadi will get you impaled, if he can, because he wants to command fools and he thinks fools obey better than others. And this will last until your neighbors, the Dervish and the cadi, begin to understand that stupidity is good for nothing, and that persecution is abominable.
