It was through a very curious chain of circumstances that the present manuscript came into my possession. I am afraid that at the moment I am not at liberty to reveal its true authorship. Hence, if one wishes, he may regard it purely as a piece of fiction. This explains the title: I have called it a parable under the somewhat old fashioned idea (which is fast losing ground these days) that even a work of fiction can convey a message. The original title of the paper was, simply: ‘Semantical Archaeology’.
