African folk stories: stories of smart and dumb people

once upon a time, someone said he knew everything about the world.

and because he said it himself, it spread, it spreads, it spreads, it spreads...

and then there was another person who thought he was the dumbest person in the world.

because he looked at him like that, he started thinking -- thinking.

one day, the dumb guy came to the smart guy and said, "man, please give me an idea, but i'm afraid people like you can't help me." the wise man said, "is there a problem i can't solve? please, what do you want?" my boat was small and had to be shipped three times.

you're a well-known wise man, and i ask you, what would you do?" the smart man said, "it's too simple! i'll take the leopard first." "but when you transport a leopard, goats eat cabbage." "yeah." the smart guy said, "in this case, we should transport goats, then leopards, and finally cabbage." "but when you're going to pick up cabbage, the leopards eat goats." the stupid man said.

“yes! that is so.

listen to me.

remember, first, the goats, then the cabbage.

no, don't be busy.

the goats and the cabbage cannot stay together.

it's better this way: cabbage first, then -- no, it's not right, the leopards eat goats...

you're confusing me.

the dumb guy said, "well, it doesn't really need special talent either.

i'll take the goat to the other side and i'll tell you what i said! and then...

"come on, what's the last thing? i told you." “then i came back with the goat, left the goat behind, and then transported the leopards to the other side, because the leopards did not eat cabbage.” "of course, leopards don't eat cabbage." "and i finally transported the goats, so that the goats, the cabbage and the leopards passed." "look, smart guy says, "you didn't come to me for nothing?" "you really helped me," the dumb guy says, "i'm very grateful to you, and it's the best advice you can give me to solve this problem."
