Well-trodden path

There lived two neighbors. Winter has come, snow has fallen. One neighbor went out early in the morning with a shovel to shovel the snow in front of his house. While I was clearing the path, I looked at how my neighbor was doing. And he has a neatly trampled path.

The next morning it snowed again. The first neighbor got up early, got to work, and looked - and the neighbor’s path had already been laid.

On the third day the snow was knee-deep. The first neighbor got up even earlier and went out to clear the snow. And the neighbor’s path is already flat and straight - just a sight for sore eyes!

That same day they met on the street and the first neighbor asked:

- Listen, when do you have time to clear the snow in front of the house?

The second neighbor was surprised at first, and then laughed:

- Yes, I never clean it. It’s my friends who come to see me!
