RATHER LIKED HIM
The dictator was anxious to find out what the ordinary citizen thought of him. He knew his chief advisers probably deceived him, so he ordered a young officer whom he could trust to go out and talk to everyone and find out what they thought. After much evasiveness on the part of those to whom he spoke the j officer found a man in a cafe who j seemed inclined to trust him. “Tell me,” asked the officer, “what you really think about our leader.” After much furtive looking round to see that he wasn’t observed, the man leaned over and said, “Well, one has to be careful, but between you and me, I rather like him.”
