Lazaro and the Blind Man
0:00
One day, Lazaro and the blind man arrived in a village called Almorox.
There, a farmer handed a bunch of grapes to the blind man.
The grapes were so ripe that they couldn't be put in the bag, so the blind man decided to share them on the spot with Lazaro.
The blind man said to Lazaro:
“Lazaro, today I want to share these grapes evenly with you.
Let's take turns eating one at a time.
If I eat one, you also eat one.
You promise?”
Lazaro accepted the blind man's suggestion, and the two began eating the grapes.
But not long after, the blind man began eating two at a time.
Noticing this, Lazaro also began eating two at a time, then three at a time, following the blind man's example.
After finishing the grapes, the blind man held the grape stem in his hand, shook his head, and said:
“Lazaro, you have deceived me.
I'm sure you ate the grapes three at a time.”
Lazaro said, embarrassed:
“No, I didn't do that.
Why do you think so?”
The blind man answered wisely:
“Even though I ate two at a time, you didn't say anything.
So you surely must have eaten three at a time.”
Lazaro smiled to himself, realizing how clever the blind man was.
