Medieval China Wisdom: Wisdom excel over Follies

In the story of old, lives two wise men, a righteous man and a man of lawlessness.

As always, when two minds meet they will exchange. The wise man teaches the righteous man the righteous way and the lawless man teaches the righteous man the sly way.

A wise man came to the marketplace in medieval China. There, he met a medicine pedlar, who was very good with his trade and his trade flourish extensively.

The medical man was selling pills for all forms of illness. He was able to diagnose his patient's illness and let a golden statue select the colorful pills for his clients. It was a sell.

Everyone was mesmerized by his skills and the golden statue.

Suddenly, came a righteous man and he decided to learn the knowledge of the arcane. He invited the man for lunch and told him that he will show him magical skills in exchange for his trade secret.

So, on the day pre-arranged, both of them met. The righteous man bought the shrouded man to a specialized shop in town, laden with all the luxury of life.

They enjoyed their meetings with all the good food available at the time. After enjoying all the foods and wine, they decided to part and the wise man moved out of the luxurious restaurant and the owner greeted him with gladness. The shrouded man was surprised, how can the wise man eat in an expensive restaurant without the need to pay and the owner was so glad for him.

The shrouded man was puzzled and he decided to trade his trade secret with the man. Therefore, both men decided to exchange their secrets.

The shrouded man told the wise man that there is a magnet on the hand of the golden statue and the pills that he prescribed for the masses is an iron pill. So, iron would definitely be attracted to the magnet.

The wise man smiled at the knowledge of antiquity.

The shrouded man then demanded an exchange of knowledge of how to mesmerized every shop owner without the needs to antagonize them.

The wise man replied "Very well, you have made me wiser. So, I will tell you the secret - Which is pay in advance."

Therefore, when two man met, they will exchange, whether for the good or for the bad, it is in the hand of the creator "Who can make straight, what God had made crooked."

Moral of the story: Teach a wise man and he will be wiser"
