Every day, a person begged in the market and people tricked his stupidity.
They showed him two coins, one of gold and one of silver;
But he always chose the silver coin.
This story spread throughout the region.
Every day a group of men and women came and showed him two coins and he chose the silver coin.
One day, a kind man who had heard this story came by and was upset that he was being treated like this.
He went to him in the corner of the square and gave him a gold coin and said: “Whenever they show you two coins, you take the gold coin.”
In this way, you will get more money and you will not be lost."
The beggar replied with a smile: “Apparently you are right, but if I take the gold coin, people will not pay me to prove that I am more stupid than them. You have no idea how much money I have earned so far with this trick.”
And he said again:
(If what you are doing is smart, there is nothing wrong with being thought of as a fool)
