Do you know about what I will speak today?

 

Once upon a time, there was an Eastern Prophet who, once a year, meet with his followers who were willing to hear him speaking.

On the first day the Prophet asked them: "Do you know about what I will speak today?" The disciples answered in chorus: "No!". 

"Then - the prophet said - if you do not know, is useless for me to stay here to waste my time. See you in another time." 

 

Disciples felt very offended and decided that to the next meeting to respond all of them with " Yes! "

The next day, the Prophet asked again: "Do you know about what I will speak today?" 

They all responded, "Yes!". Then the wise Prophet answered: "If you know, it's useless to speak."  

And he left this time too.  

Disciples, even more offended than first time, had a brilliant idea: "At the next meeting, half of us will answer yes and the other half no. In this way the Prophet will not have a way out. "

The third day he asked again: "Do you know about what I will speak today?" Half of the disciples responded yes, and half no.  

Then the Prophet exclaimed: "Good! I am very pleased with your answer and please everyone of you who answered yes to tell others what I wanted to say."

The Prophet left this time and the disciples never saw him again.
