The Mind



 

 by Rhys Hughes















   “Minds and brains are the same thing,” said the professor, “and I really don’t understand people who claim otherwise.”

   “Absolutely identical?”

   “Yes.” The professor nodded.

   “But this belief got you into trouble?”

   “It’s not a belief. It’s a fact that the mind is the brain. True, I ended up in a tricky situation as a consequence. My brother had to attend a very important meeting. His wife was away. He asked me to ‘mind his children’ in his absence and I was happy to do so.”

   “You minded them?”

   “I brained them. But what's the difference?”

   The other prisoner sighed.
