My Favorite Fable

My favorite fable is the one about the young man who goes backwards and forwards in time. The tale originated right here in America, and has been passed down from generation to generation at least twice. The story begins, as so many do, with a friendship. This friendship is between the young man and a strange old professor of science with wild white hair. The young man has a beautiful girlfriend and two loving parents, but he can't help wondering what it would be like to go back in time. The strange old professor, whose house is full of clocks, calls the young man to his side one day and tells him that he has invented a vehicle which can transport you to any time you wish, in the past or the future. Much merriment ensues and a few lessons are learned. It's a beautiful old folk tale and it can be yours for only 19.99 on DVD. There is also a Danish version of this fable where the young man character dies at the end, impaled on his own sword.
