ÛUrban Legend

At the entrance of a village, an old sage was resting near a well. A pilgrim arrives who wants to settle in the village. He asks the old man, "Tell me, what are the people like in your village? I would like to settle here. Where I was before, the people were mean and gossiping. That's why I left." "The people here are the same," the sage replies. And the pilgrim continues on his way. Another pilgrim arrives. "How are the people in your village?" he asks the old sage in turn. "What were the people you encountered like before?" "Very kind and helpful. I had a hard time leaving them." "The people here are the same." A young person from the village overheard the conversations. "I don't understand," he says to the sage. "To one person, you say the people are mean, and to the other, you say they are good." And the sage replies, "People are as we see them!"
