## Resource

In this podcast we discuss H.G. Wells's fable "The Beautiful Suit." It was originally published in 1909 under the title, "A Moonlight Fable." You have probably never heard of the story, but it imparts a powerful message. What does it mean? What is the author trying to communicate to his readers? And what lesson can we take from the tale, and incorporate into our own lives?
