A French philosopher presented a lady with a rose, the thorns of which wounded her fingers. 

 Irritated by the pain she e.\clainied, " What a pity the Creator should have given so beautiful a flower 

 so rude a stem.'' " Ah, madam," lie replied, " how gracious and benevolent of the Creator to furnish 

 so rough a plant with so lovely and sweet a flower."
