The Legendary Tale of Aristotle, Alexander… and a Clever Maid!

 


It is said that Aristotle often warned his student Alexander the Great about indulging too much in the company of women.
To him:
Excessive passion weakens judgment and clouds true wisdom.
The royal harem women, tired of being blamed, decided one day to teach the philosopher a lesson.
They sent a stunning, witty, and mischievous maid to him.
With charm and playful intelligence, she gradually captured the master logician himself.
Soon, Aristotle fell completely under her spell.
One day the maid, with a sly smile, made an odd request:
“Great teacher, today you must act like a horse—and I will ride on your back!”
Spellbound, Aristotle agreed immediately.
At that very moment, the harem women brought Alexander into the room.
He froze
his wise teacher was crawling like a horse with a maid on his back!
“Master!” Alexander exclaimed,
“You warned me about women… and look at what they’ve done to you!”
Aristotle stood up, dusted himself off, and calmly said:
“My dear king, this was your lesson.
Think wisely—
If a woman can turn your teacher into a horse,
she can turn you into a donkey even faster!”
