The Man and the Camel

Once there was a man who received a camel for his birthday. One day the camel died, and the man was overjoyed, partly because he didn't have to feed it, and partly because he could shave it to make a warm coat for the winter. He began to shave the camel, but in a few minutes his blade was blunt, as the camel's skin was quite rough. He went upstairs to sharpen his blade. After ten or so times of this, he decided to call his friends over, and together they worked very hard to carry the camel upstairs to where the blade sharpener was , instead of simply carrying the light blade sharpener downstairs where the camel was, and so the men were all very tired. In the end the man who owned the camel barely had enough strength to finish shaving it. The End

Moral:1. If two solutions will have the same result, do the easier one.
