A warrior’s helmet

A warrior’s helmet

Long long ago, there lived an old man in a village near sea ,who was proud of knowing everything.
One day a kettle floated to the seashore.
The villagers had never seen the kettle and asked him.
“What is this used for?”a villager asked.
“You don’t know? This is a kind of warrior’s helmet used in a battle.”
Another villager asked the man again, having the handle of the kettle.
“Then, what is this used for?”
“Well, this is a kind of chin strap.” he answered.
Another villager asked the man again, having the sticking mouth of the kettle.
“Then, what is this used for?”
“Well, this is a kind of stethoscope.
When the warrior wears this kind of helmet, he can’t hear anything.
So it has a long ear.” he answered.
“If so, why doesn’t it have both ears?”
“You are so foolish, aren’t you?
If it has two, the warrior can’t sleep on a pillow.
One is enough for listening.”
The villagers admitted his wisdom.
