Several people went to the river and, being strangers here, wanted to find out if in this place it was possible to cross to the other bank.
The lame man said to them:
— It’s dangerous to cross the river here, go downstream.
They didn’t believe him: after all, he himself could not ford the river!
The blind man said:
- You can cross here, just turn left first and then right.
They did not follow his advice: how could he know? Surely someone else carried him across the river.
Finally, a man appeared who volunteered to ford them.
“I often cross here, I live on the other side, and my land is on this one.”
They confidently followed him and reached the other shore without hindrance.
