This is the story of a man who thought that he had the right to do whatever he liked. One day, this

gentleman was walking along a busy road, spinning his walking-stick round and round in his hand,

and was trying to look important. A man walking behind him objected.

“You ought not to spin your walking-stick round and round like that!” he said.

“I am free to do what I like with my walking-stick,” argued the gentleman.

“Of course, you are,” said the other man, “but you ought to know that your freedom ends where

my nose begins.”

The story tells us that we can enjoy our rights and our freedom only if they do not interfere with

other people’s rights and freedom.
