Berurah, would it make you feel any better about my “cynicism” to find out that this fable, with all its heavy overtones about class relations, seems to have been invented for an American McCarthy-era right-wing religious text for children?

Wouldn’t the cynic be the person (not LTS) who misappropriated credit for Fleming’s discovery to further his/her own ends, rather than the person who sets the record straight?
