Come hear my tales of journeys to faraway lands...
The Son of a Genius
Tuesday, 6/24/03 - 3:55 pm
"...One day, several months ago, when I was hard at work, a little hunchback came and sat at the entrance of my shop, and began to sing and play his tambourine. I was amused with the antics of the fellow, and thought it best to invite him home for supper. The hunchback having agreed to my proposal, waited until I closed my shop, and we set off together.

When we reached my house we found that my wife had already prepared the table for supper. In a very few minutes all three of us were sitting before a beautiful fish which my wife had cooked with her own hands. But unluckily, the hunchback happened to swallow a large bone, and, in spite of all my wife and I could do to help him, he died of suffocation in an instant. Besides being very sorry for the poor man, my wife and I were very much frightened on our own account, for if the police came to hear of it, we of course would run the risk of being thrown into prison for wilful murder. In order to prevent this dreadful calamity we both set about inventing some plan. My ingenious wife first thought of a way to throw suspicion on a Jewish doctor who lived close by. However, I quickly persuaded her that we should dump the body in the desert instead.

Upon reaching the desert, I dragged the hunchbacked corpse off my camel's hump and into the sand. However, on closer examination, I came to realize that this hunchback must be no other than the son of a genius! With this realization, my anxiety grew several fold and in heated panic, I wasted no time hurrying back all the way home. The deed done, I breathed a sigh of relief, and all was well until I met the genius... "

a similar quandary.
My wife and I, over four years ago, encountered a situation like yours. However for us, we had inadvertently killed a child-bearing Mayan princess. Quite unfortunate, it was.
