Original Story by Elspeth Eric Directed by Himan Brown Host: E.G. Marshall

I would like to offer a few observations on the vagaries of the animal called man. Take the popular saying, seeing is believing. What idiot first said that? How many idiots have repeated it since? Do you believe in love? Tell me the color of it. Do you believe in truth, goodness, mercy? What shapes do they come in? No, my friends. Seeing is not believing. Only believing is believing. And we'll prove it to you in the story that follows.

With how much ease believe we what we wish. An English playwright named Dryden wrote that in the year 1679. Brilliant man, Mr. Dryden. But wait, listen to this. Men freely believe that which they desire. Someone else seems to have had the same idea. He wasn't a 17th century English playwright. He was a Roman emperor named Julius Caesar. Proving once again that no man in any age has a monopoly on wisdom. Now, let's get on with our story.
