One day a man caught a flea.
-Where are you taking me? – she asked.
“I want to weigh you,” he replied.
- How much do you think I weigh? - asked the flea.
“One carat,” he answered.
“No, I weigh ten talents,” said the flea.
The man went to the weigher and weighed the flea. It turned out that it weighs half a carat.
- Well, who was right? – the man asked.
“This is not where you should have weighed me,” the flea objected. .
- Where is it?
- On our flea scales.
And when they weighed her on a flea scale, it turned out that she really weighed ten talents.
“You see, man,” said the flea, “I didn’t lie.”
