“82nd story”
First published: March.14.2019
There once lived a beggar in a small town. The beggar walked daily in the local Bazaar and downtown area.
Everyone in town knew him for years. He was famous for his stupidity, and people made fun of him.
Every day, people showed him two coins; one silver and one gold, and then asked him to choose.
He always chose the silver one which was less in value. New people visited after they heard about the stupid beggar. They offered him both coins just to see if the story was true.
And when he picked the silver coin, they started making fun of him. This became an ongoing habit for people, for years.
A kind passerby heard the story and went to see this stupid beggar. When he saw that it was true and that the beggar was truly stupid, he felt bad.
He got closer to the beggar and whispered in his ears: “The gold coin is worth more when people offer you two coins pick the gold one. Then they will not laugh at you.”
The beggar responded: “Thank you for your concern. You are a very kind man. But don’t worry, I know the gold coin has more value.
But each person totally has paid me many gold coins over all these years. They like to make fun of me, they come back and bring more people to see. I may look stupid to them, but it was them that was naive. I am making a good living out of their stupidity.”
A lovely moral and story.

Laleh, I always enjoy the way you weave your stories of life’s lessons. We are so quick to judge others by our own standards that the truth of a situation evades us.

Laleh, this time your brilliant story made me laugh. It’s like the saying” Who is the monkey, the one behind the fence or the one in front of the fence”
😂😂😂nice saying, I liked it. This beggar is an example of many people in the governments.😂❤️
Oh, yes indeed, Laleh. Thank you for taking your time to respond. The Persian aide is coming soon

Definitely a wise one, who fooled others 😀

This is a lovely story, so well written and with such a powerful moral message. Many people in this world should act more wisely like the beggar people laughed at. I also love the colorful pictures you have chosen to illustrate it. Thank you so much for the follow. I really appreciate this. However, there is a much better writer than me, whom I strongly recommend you and all your followers. It is my friend Mario Savioni. His novel “Pickles and Tarts” (very short chapters, easy to read), is a story where 54-year-old Frank has been selected by 19-year-old Nicole through a dating site. Frank looks at Nicole’s photos on the site and is attracted to her beauty. Nicole tells him she has a boyfriend and is not interested in a romantic relationship. She adds: “It’s fun to talk to different people sometimes.” The only apparent thing Frank and Nicole seem to have in common is their interest to write stories. Perhaps they want to meet just to write one together? “Pickles and Tarts” is a lovely story of illusion-delusion, dream-reality, non-conformist with the Capitalist system, reflective on love, sex and human relationships in today’s world. It is profound and highly intriguing: https://savioni.wordpress.com/2019/03/15/pickles-and-tarts-chapter-10/
Thanks so much dear for reading, appreciate your comment. Great book to read thanks for sharing. Check my book “Climbing Over Grit”, if you’re interested.❤️❤️❤️
You are welcome. Yes, your book looks really interesting to read. You are a very talented writer.
You’re very kind dear.❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤
A wise man indeed!
Thanks for reading and commenting sweetheart.❤️
A wise man, because it is better to sell more and cheaper than once for a gold coin.
We have a proverb here: It’s better to wisely lose than to find a stupid one.
greetings
😂👏👏👏 nice saying dear. Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.❤️
Interesting story. It’s sad that people get enjoyment out watching someone they think is stupid, even though it reflects badly on them – they are too naive to even see it. Sometimes we are too quick to judge.
Yes it’s so unfortunate. Appreciate your kindness for reading and sharing your thoughts.❤️❤️❤️
How we label stupid is stupid.
Sorry for the late response, your comment was in the spam. I just saw it.
Very smart 👍👌👌
Thanks for your visit dear.❤️

Judging others prematurely is stupid as well. Thanks for reading my blog.
My pleasure dear.❤️
A clever fellow.
Thanks dear for reading and commenting.❤️
You’re welcome 😉

Nice post. Often it us those people thought to be stupid are the smartest ones.
I know, doing nothing and making money 😂 thanks dear for sharing your thoughts.❤️
Amazing grit right there.
Thanks dear for reading and commenting.<3
It was beautiful
Appreciate your kindness.❤️
I saw a version of this “Little Johnny” with a nickel and dime. Love this version even more!
That’s very interesting. Appreciate your kindness dear.❤️
Brilliant! It takes a very smart person to appear that stupid.
😂 thanks for reading dear. Appreciate your kindness.❤️
Wow, that’s a smart story!
Thanks for reading and commenting my friend.<3<3
It is my pleasure, my friend!
<3<3<3
Reading the story, I thought it would end like that. Going to work, I pass a crazy woman who aggressively demands 10 zlotys. Everyone bypasses her. And a modest old woman who asks 1 zloty easily to please and puts many into the cup. Maybe it’s a different story, but it’s the same thing.
LOL, she is smart. Thanks for sharing dear.<3<3<3
🙂
A funny story with a great moral! Well done! 🙂
Thanks dear so much for your visit and kind comment.❤️
Love the cover!
Thanks dear for your visit.<3

Thanks so much dear, appreciate your kindness.❤️
U are welcome.

Una parabola molto vera, un insegnamento non una furbizia.
La leggerò sicuramente domani al mio nipotino.
Grazie carissima
Laleh.

Haha good one. Loving your stories.
That’s very nice of you. Thanks for reading.❤️

Great story. The ending surprised me.
Minor edit: I wouldn’t put a semicolon after “two coins”
Semicolons join independent clauses.
Appreciate it dear Christopher.❤️❤️❤️
You have a real talent for writing fables.

NOT SO STUPID AFTER ALL, IS HE—THIS BEGGAR!
Thanks a million.❤️
Your posts are worth…at least that much!
You’re kind.❤️
AS YOU ARE!
🙏
This is a fantastic story that has an important moral! The beggar is much smarter than all the people who make fun of him!
In Italy it is said that those who want too much do not want anything. It means that if you want something big right away, you will end up with nothing in your hands!
Thanks so much dear for reading and sharing wise and kind thoughts. Appreciate your kindness.❤️
Good lodgic in this.
Thanks Kelly, sweetheart.
