A new teacher noticed that there was a boy in the class who was always called a fool. During recess, he asked the group of friends for the reason.
– Well, he really is a fool, teacher. If you give him a big 5-ruble coin and a small 10-ruble coin, he’ll choose the 5-ruble one because he thinks the bigger size is better. Here, watch this.
One of the friends held up two coins and let the boy choose. And he still chose the 5-ruble coin as before. The teacher, surprised, asked:
– Why do you choose the 5 rubles instead of the 10 rubles?
– Look, teacher, the 5-ruble coin is bigger.
After school, the teacher approached the boy and asked again:
– Don’t you understand that the 5-ruble coin is only bigger in size, but with the 10 rubles, you can buy more things?
– If I take the 10 rubles, they won’t give it to me next time… the boy replied.
