Truth (short Story)
At the entrance of a village, an old sage was resting near a well.
A traveler arrives who wants to settle in the village. He asks the old man:
"Tell me how are the people of your village. I would like to settle here. Where I was before, people are mean and slandering. That's why I left. The people are the same here, "answers the wise man. And the traveler passes his way.
A second traveler arrives.
"How are the people in your village? he asks in turn to the old sage.
- How were the people you knew until then ?
- Very kind and helpful. I had trouble leaving them.
- People are the same here. "
A young man from the village attended the conversations.
"I do not understand," he said to the sage, "to one you say that people are evil, to the other that they are good."
And the wise man answers,
"People are as we see them!"
