The Baker and the Cheese Seller

One time a baker went to the sheriff and complained about the cheese salesman, who he said was stealing because he sold 800 grams of cheese and said he was selling a pound.

The deputy took the 1-kilo cheese and found that it only weighed 800 grams and then had the cheese salesman arrested on charges of defrauding the balance.

When the cheese seller was notified of the accusation, he confessed to the deputy that he had no weight at home, so he bought two loaves of bread each day, put the bread on one scale and the cheese on another and when the balance loyalist balanced himself so he knew he had a pound of cheese.

The deputy to take the evidence ordered to buy two loaves of bread at the accuser's bakery and may find that two half-kilo breads equaled one kilo of cheese. The delegate concluded that the one who was defrauding the balance was the one who was accusing the seller of cheese.

Moral: We are a little like that and often accuse others of our own addictions. Do not judge if you do not want to be juged!
