Customer and master
One day a customer came to the hatmaker, brought a sheep skin and asked:
Sew me a hat from this skin!
Okay,” says the master, “I’ll sew it!”
The customer left the master and thought:
“But the skin is big - maybe we can cut out two hats?” He thought so, returned to the hatmaker and asked:
Tell me, master, can you sew two hats from this skin?
Why not? - answered the hatmaker. - Can.
If so, sew two hats,” said the customer and left.
He walked a little, thought, returned again to the hat maker and asked:
Master, would you mind making three hats from the skin?
Why not? - answered the hatmaker. - I’ll sew three.
The customer was delighted and asked:
Can't you sew four?
I'll sew four! - answered the master.
I'll sew five.
Then sew me five hats!
The customer left, but returned halfway and asked:
Master, can you make six hats?
I'll sew six.
Can't you make seven? Or maybe eight hats?
Why not? And I’ll sew eight! - answered the master.
Well, then sew me eight hats!
Okay, I'll sew eight. Come back in a week for your order.
A week later the customer came to the master:
Are my hats ready?
“Ready,” the master answers.
He called his student and said:
Go and bring the customer his hats.
The student immediately brought eight small hats - not to put them on the head, but on the apple! The customer looked at them, was surprised and asked:
What is this?
These are the hats you ordered for me,” the hat maker answered.
Hey, master, why did these hats turn out so small?..
Just think about it! - answered the hatmaker.
The customer took eight small hats, left and began to think: “Why did these turn out to be such small hats? Why?.."
