prologue text bracketed by flourishes

Condescension. Arrogance. Recompense. It’s often a cathartic pattern. As the proverb goes,

“Pride goes before destruction,
    a haughty spirit before a fall.”

And we do love a good proverbial story, don’t we?

What follows is a short and curious story about a boastful professor. There’s no surprises, but even as you know what’s coming, the shock value lingers. We hope you enjoy this week’s presentation of The Jelly-Fish.
