“They say that, in a small town, a group of people had fun with the local "imbecile", a poor guy, of "little intelligence", who lived doing small tasks and begging.

     Every day, some men called the "stupid" to the bar where they were and offered him to choose between two coins: one large, of lesser value, and the other smaller, worth five times as much.

     He always took the biggest and the least valuable, which was a laugh for everyone.

     One day, someone watching the group's fun with the "innocent" man, took him aside and asked him if he still hadn't realized that the larger coin was worth less, and he replied,

     "I know, I'm not so stupid. It's worth five times less, but the day I choose the other one, the game is over and I won't earn any more coins."

      This story could end here, as a simple joke, but several conclusions can be drawn from this fable:

     The first: who looks like an idiot, is not always so.

     The second: who were the real idiots in history?

     The third: excessive ambition can destroy the source of income.

     But the most interesting conclusion is:

     1° - We can be fine, even when others don't have a good opinion of ourselves;

     2° - What matters is not what others think of us, but what each one thinks of himself;

     3° - The real smart man is the one who looks like an idiot in front of an idiot who seems to be smart!

"A loaf of bread is better for us, on a table full of joys.
That there is a feast, on a table of discord"

Have a great week!
