Two Americans went to Egypt together to visit the pyramids. One is an engineer and the other is a logician.
On this day, the engineer himself wandered the streets and saw an old woman selling an exquisite toy cat with a list price of $500.
The engineer went forward to inquire, only to learn that this cat was an ancestral treasure of the old woman, because her grandson was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, so he had to sell it.
The engineer swept it by hand and found that the toy cat was very heavy, like it was made of black iron. But what intrigued him was the cat's eyes, which looked bright and divine, not a mundane thing.
After observation, the engineer, with his rich knowledge, concluded that the two cat eyes should be two genuine pearls. So he said to the old woman, "I only bought two cat eyes and gave you $300, can I?" ”
Unexpectedly, the old woman agreed.
The engineer happily returned to the hotel with the two cat's eyes and said to the logician in his company, "I bought these two huge pearls for only $300." ”
The logician took a closer look at the two large pearls and, roughly estimating, would be worth at least a thousand dollars. So I asked what happened.
After listening to the engineer's account, the logician did not say a word and ran quickly to the street. It cost $200 to buy the black cat back without eyes.
The engineer saw that he was a little puzzled, so he said, "The price is $500, it has been sold for $300, give her another $200, isn't the seller just got his wish!" ”
"You're so stupid, how can this iron cat without eyes be worth $200?"
"Fooled, huh?" The engineer kept laughing at him.
But the logician was very calm, silently took out a knife, and carefully scraped the cat's foot. When the layer of black above came off, the inside revealed gold. It turns out that the endoplasm of this black cat is made of gold!
With a look of surprise on his face, he said to the engineer, "You see, have I been deceived?" ”
The engineer was stunned and regretted on the spot, so he asked him how he knew that the cat was made of gold. The logician said: "Since the cat's eyes are made of pearls, its body will certainly not be iron." ”
At this time, the engineer suddenly realized, but it was too late to say anything! Unexpectedly, after tossing and turning, I just picked up a small bargain, and in the end it was the logician who made a lot of money!
Obviously, it was a duck cooked by himself, but it flew into someone else's plate. If you encounter this kind of thing in reality, no matter who it is, you may have to lose half your life.
Therefore, it is still necessary to have the ability to learn more logical reasoning, the same thing, can not think more deeply than others, the result will be very different, otherwise sooner or later you will have to pay for your ignorance.
Who wants to be like this engineer?
