Anecdotes
oi-Priya Devi
By Priya Devi
An old man approached a goldsmith and requested his scales.
“May I use your scales to weigh my gold?"
The goldsmith answered, “Sorry sir! I do not have a sieve!"
“No but I wanted your scales!," said the old man.
The goldsmith said, “I don't have a broom either!"
The
old
man
said,
“Please
do
not
make
fun
of
me
by
pretending
to
be
deaf.
I
asked
for
your
scales!"
The
goldsmith
explained,
“I
am
not
pretending
to
be
deaf.
I
am
aware
that
you
wanted
the
scales.
But
your
hands
are
shaking.
While
weighing
your
gold
which
are
tiny
particles,
you
are
sure
to
scatter
them
on
the
floor!
You
are
then
going
to
ask
me
for
the
broom
to
scoop
them
up.
You
will
then
want
a
sieve
to
separate
the
gold
from
the
dust!
Wisdom thus reveals!
