Mr. Arafat is riding in a car with Mr. Abbas, when he spots an obstacle. "Abu Mazen, there's a tree in the road!" Mr. Arafat cries, using Mr. Abbas's nickname. But the car continues on its way. Mr. Arafat's warnings grow more frantic.
Finally, the car hits the tree, and as the two Palestinian leaders stumble from the wreckage, battered and bruised, Mr. Arafat turns to Mr. Abbas and says, "Abu Mazen, I told you there was a tree."
Mr. Abbas replies, miserably, "But you were driving."
"From books, we learn what can be done. To actually learn, we need to do those things."
