"i am sure," said the king, "that this man is the most faithful and virtuous of men. if he wished to take my life, why did he cure me? cease to speak against him. i see what it is, you are jealous of him; but do not think that i can be turned against him. i remember well what a vizir said to king sindbad, his master, to prevent him from putting the prince, his son, to death."
what the greek king said excited the vizir's curiosity, and he said to him, "sire, i beg your majesty to have the condescension to tell me what the vizir said to king sindbad."
"this vizir," he replied, "told king sindbad that one ought not believe everything that a mother-in-law says, and told him this story."

Ead this excerpt from the introduction to wheels of change by sue macy. imagine a population imprisoned by their very clothing; the stiff corsets, heavy skirts, and voluminous petticoats that made it difficult to take a deep breath, let alone exercise. add to that the laws and social conventions that cemented a man's place as head of the household and holder of the purse strings. how suffocated women must have felt. and how liberated they must have been as they pedaled their wheels toward new horizons. why does the author include this excerpt?
