The case methodWords of wisdom
John gave his brother James a box;
About it there were many locks.
James woke and said it gave him pain;
So he gave it back to John again.
The box was not with lid supplied,
Yet caused two lids to open wide.
And all these locks had never a key -
What kind of box, then, could it be?
