Show Emperor Refused Advice The former emperor of Germany, Ger-many, as a youth, did almost everything ev-erything in the hope of strengthening strengthen-ing his withered arm. Once, learning learn-ing how to scull, his teacher cautioned cau-tioned him about getting into the light boat, explaining how he must use extreme care and get exactly in the center. But William of Ho-henzollern, Ho-henzollern, who had never taken advice from any one in his life and was always convinced that he himself knew best, answered the advice by jumping into the boat from the wharf, capsizing it, of course, and throwing him and his instructor into the water. |
