Samuel Johnson

star 4.3

One day Doctor Samuel Johnson, the famous author of the first English dictionary, was at a fish market with his friend. He assured him that he could make a woman who sold fish angry.

“I shall not say even one had word to her,” he added. Then he came up to one of these women, raised her fish to his nose and silently showed that it had a bad smell. The woman attacked him in words that I cannot repeat here.

The Doctor answered: “You are an article, woman.”

“You are an article yourself,” she cried.

“You are a noun, woman!” Johnson continued. “You are a pronoun, I say.”

The old woman could not understand these words, so she shook her fist at him and called him many bad names.

“You are a verb,” he continued, “an adverb, an adjective,” and each part of speech made her angrier and angrier because she did not know their meaning and did not know how to answer.
