thinking. parable of the whistle.

[dancingleaf]

somehow I ended up with a referrence to this story today

http://www.bartleby.com/109/2.html

the question is ... did you pay too much for your whistle?

but really... shouldn't you say... he thought it was an excellent price until someone criticized his choice? and now he is regretting what he actually was very happy with until then?

hmmmmmmm?
