The Trick Exposed
There lived two beggars in a small town . They were jealous of each other in their trade . One of them made a plan to earn more and more . He decided to play dumb . So he one day wrote the word ' dumb ' on a piece of card - board and hung down it round his neck and set out for begging . The board caught the attention of the locals . They showed him more sympathy sometimes with coins . The other beggar shouted all day long and earned very little . He bore jealousy for his rival and resolved to expose his trickery .
Next day a richman was going to help the dumb when the rival cried out , " He is not at all a dumb . He is a cheat " . Hearing his words the dumb beggar scolded him aloud . He said , " You're a liar . I have been dumb since my birth . " Then the rich gentleman commented , " I help a dumb , and not a talking dumb . " He left the place saying this .."
Moral :Trick never wins .
