A Foolish Man Buys Shoes
There was once a foolish man . One day he wanted to go to the market to buy a new pair of shoes . He first measured his feet with a ruler and then took a piece of thread the length of his feet on it . He was in such a hurry to set off that he left the thread of home .
At the market , when arriving at a shoe store , he felt in his pockets , but he only found that thread wasn\'t in . So he said to the shop assistant in a regretful voice , “I\'ve left my measurement at home , so I don\'t know the size , I\'ll have to go back for it . ”With these words , he hurried off .
He hurried home for the thread and then ran back to the market . It took him a lot of time in the trip home and back . By the time he reached the market , it was almost dark and the market was already over . He had gone to all this trouble for nothing , failing to buy the shoes .
Then someone asked him , “Do you want to buy the shoes for yourself or for someone else ? ”
“For myself , of course ! ”he answered .
The man asked him , “Well , but haven\'t you brought your feet with you ? What do you need to bring the measurement for ? ”
