A man is sitting at a bus stop, and there is another man sitting next to him.
Suddenly another man comes up to the second guy and says
“E-E-Excuse me, s-sir. C-Co-Could you p-p-please gi-give me d-directions t-to-to the n-ne-nearest gro-grocery s-st-store?”
The man didn’t say anything. He just sat there, looking at him, stress on his face.
After a moment the third man comes up to the first man and asks him the same question.
The first man gave him the dieections, the third man thanked him and walked away.
When he left the first man looked at the second man and asked:
“Why didn’t you answer him? Couldn’t you at least tell him that you don’t know”
The second man looked at him and said:
“I-I-I didn’t w-want him t-to-to th-think th-that I-I was m-mo-mocking h-him”
