′′ They say that in a small town, a group of people had fun with the local ′′ moron ", a poor guy, of ′′ low intelligence ", who lived doing small tasks and asking for handouts.
Everyday, some men called the ′′ stupid ′′ to the bar where they were and offered to choose between two coins: one large, lesser, and the other lesser, 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, called him aside and asked him if he hadn't realized that the bigger coin was worth less and he replied:
′′ I know, I'm not that stupid. She's worth five times less, but the day I choose the other one, the game ends and I'm not going to win any coins anymore."
This story could end here, as a simple joke, but several conclusions we can draw from this fable:
The first: who looks like an idiot isn't always.
The second: who were the real idiots of history?
The third: excessive ambition can end the source of income.
But the most interesting conclusion is:
1° - We can be fine, even when others don't have a good opinion about ourselves;
2° - What matters is not what others think of us, but what everyone thinks of themselves;
3° - The real smart man is the one who appears to be an idiot in front of an idiot who appears to be intelligent!
