Why are there so many idiots all around the world?

Hi classmates, Hi teacher,

I’m going to tell you an African tale that I’m trying to sum up. This is pure fiction, of course.

There were fewer idiots before, than there are now. Because when one was found, he was just sent out of the village. Now if we want to do the same, half of the village will be deported, and maybe more. But how did things get worse?

Here is the story, one day two idiots sent out of their village for their stupidity, met in a crossroad, and decided to travel together, maybe at two they will be smarter. After a while, they stopped a front of a cabin, where an old man got out and asked them where they were going. The two men told the old man their whole story.

So, the old man decided to test them, as he got two stupid daughters himself. To the first he asked to fish for him, to the second he asked to braid some ropes.

Our fisherman got to the river, when his basket was full; he got thirsty, freed the fishes and went back to the village. When he told the old man the reason why he came back without the fishes, the old man was so angry and didn’t understand why the young man didn’t drink to the river.

During that time, the second idiot had braided a lot of ropes, and was ready to return home when he realized he didn’t have a rope to bind them. So he ran back to the village to search for one. The old man got angry once again, and asked him why he didn’t just take one of the ropes he just braided to bend the others.

The old man understood he couldn’t do anything with these two guys and decided to marry them with his daughters and sent them out of his village. The idiots and their wives built cabins and lived as they can. They got children as stupid as them, the cabins got multiplied, so did the idiots all around the world.
