It doesn’t do to be too curious or inquisitive. The proverb is a quotation
from _The Lucky Chance_ , a play by Aprah Behn. The reference is, of course,
to the story of Adam and Eve, who were expelled from the garden of Eden
because they had tasted the forbidden fruit (see Forbidden fruit is sweetest).
