Summary
This quote suggests that interacting with someone who is dull or lacking in intelligence can actually sharpen one's own wit and intellectual abilities. Similar to how a whetstone is used to sharpen a blade, the presence of a fool can serve as a challenge or stimulus for the wits of others, pushing them to think more critically or creatively. Instead of being discouraged by the dullness, it is implied that individuals can use it as an opportunity to showcase their own intelligence and wit.
