The Bedouin and his Two Sacks
A Bedouin was riding along on his camel, and the camel was carrying two huge sacks, one on each side. “What’s in those two sacks?” a man asked the Bedouin. “There’s grain in this sack,” replied the Bedouin, “and there’s sand in this sack.” The man was puzzled. “What do you need a sack of sand for?” “To keep things in balance,” the Bedouin explained. “You fool!” said the man. “You can pour out the sand, and then pour half of the grain into that sack. The weight will be balanced, and the load will be lighter for your camel!”
