00:00A rich man and a beggar sat across from each other.
00:03Bored, the rich man proposed a game.
00:05I'll ask you a question.
00:07If you can't answer, you give me $50.
00:10But if you ask me a question and I can't answer, I'll give you $5,000.
00:15People nearby gasped.
00:17It sounded like an easy win.
00:19The beggar hesitated for a moment, then agreed.
00:22The rich man smiled confidently.
00:24Tell me, what is the exact distance between the earth and the moon?
00:28The beggar stayed quiet.
00:30Thinking, then slowly reached into his pocket and handed over $50, all the money he had.
00:36The rich man laughed.
00:38Now, it's your turn.
00:39The beggar nodded, then calmly asked.
00:42What animal has three legs when climbing a hill, but four legs when coming down?
00:47The rich man frowned.
00:48He thought hard.
00:50Minutes passed, but the answer never came.
00:52His confidence slowly disappeared.
00:55Finally, frustrated and defeated, he pulled out $5,000.
00:59And handed it to the beggar.
01:01The beggar quietly pocketed the money, then leaned back, ready to sleep.
01:05But the rich man couldn't take it anymore.
01:08Wait, what's the answer?
01:09What animal is it?
01:11Without saying a word, the beggar reached into his pocket again, handed him $50, then
01:16closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
01:19Because wisdom isn't always found in expensive suits.
01:22Sometimes, the people life teaches the hardest lessons learn the smartest games.
