Once upon a time, there was a man who was elderly and educated.
One day while on a walk, he found that his shoes were starting to wear out. He knew he had to buy a new pair. But he didn't want to buy the wrong shoes. He got some books and spent a lot of time reading about how to buy a pair of right shoes for himself.
After reading the books, the man took a stick and measured his feet with it. He then went to the market. But he left the stick at home, which was far away from the shop.
When the man returned to the market, the shop was closed. And by that time, his shoes were too old to wear, so he had to returm home without shoes on.
The next morning, he walked back to the market, but someone had bought the shoes that he wanted.
The man told what had happened to the shopkeeper, who asked, "Why didn't you buy the shoes yesterday?”
The man answered, "Because I left the stick that I had used to measure my feet at home. And you have to have the right measurements of your feet before you can buy shoes. I didn't want to buy the wrong size. "
Even more confused, the shopkeeper asked, "But your feet are always with you. Why didn't you just try the shoes on?"
The man said, "All the books say shoes must be bought with the exact same measurements of our feet. "
Laughing, the shop owner said, "You don't need help from books to buy shoes. Sometimes life experience* is more important. You just need your feet, some money and some common sense of life.
