A
man needed a new pair of shoes. Before he went to the
marketplace, he drew a detailed picture of his feet on a piece
of paper, carefully measured them, and wrote down all their
dimensions. Then, he set off on foot for the shoe store.
Arriving later that day at the bazaar, he unhappily discovered
that he had forgotten to bring the paper with his measurements
on it! He turned around and walked back home to get it. It was
sunset by the time he returned to the market,. and all the shops
were closed. He explained his situation to one of the
shopkeepers who had already packed away all his wares.
"Foolish man!" said the merchant. "You could have trusted your
feet and tried the shoes on in the store! Why did you go home to
get your diagrams?"
The man blushed, "I guess I trusted my measurements more . . ."
