"How leisure came”

I was reading a journal article on the constructionist theory of how we construct inferences whilst reading narrative text for my language acquisition text and the authors quoted an amusing little ditty to use as an example (of how and which inferences we draw from text). It's a parable thing by Ambrose Bierce i couldn't find it in the references anywhere so don't really know much about it, it's called "How Leisure came", quite an appropriate title i think...

Moral of the story: Haste makes waste!
