In a big river, of difficult crossing there was a boatman that used to cross people from one side to the other.
In one of those trips there were a lawyer and a teacher.
The lawyer who liked to talk a lot, asked the boatman: ‘hey guy, do you understand anything about laws?’
‘No!’ Answered the boatman. And the lawyer said: ‘you’ve got a problem.’ ‘You’ve lost half of your life.’
The teacher showing some sympathy asked him too: ‘hey guy, do know how to read and write?’
‘I neither read note write.’ Answered the boatman. And the teacher said: ‘you’ve got a problem.’ ‘You’ve lost half of your life.’
Unexpectedly, a wave sank the boat.
The worried boatman asked them: ‘do you know how to swim?’
‘No!’ They answered quickly. ‘We didn’t have time to learn.’
‘You’ve got a problem.’
‘You’ve got a big problem.’
‘Unfortunately, you all have lost your lifes.’
And the boatman swam as far as the margin.
”Nobody knows much or less.
Each person knows differently.”
