| Two men walked by the sea, side by side, in silence. Suddenly, Paul, the oldest, looked for the other guy and said: -- Can we talk while we walk? - Of course, answered Jack, the young man. What’s your job? - I am a Magician. - Really? What kind of Magician? asked Jack Paul perceived the naivety of the young man so he decided to continue with his provocations to see until where that fool would be capable of leaving to be deceptive for his levities. - I make things to happen and to become real or it to disappear as If it never had existed. – Give me an example, please, said Jack. - Look for me, asked the oldest. If I tell you that I am inheriting of a great inheritance, but I have an incurable illness and I do not have children nor friends who to leave my richness, would you believe me? - It would go to depend on of some assessments , answered the youngest. Perhaps if you to give me some evidences of that everything you said is truth, I'd believe you're a magician, exactly because I am orphan and I do not have conditions to work for my sustenance, then, if this everything will be truth, I would be a lucky man. Paul realized that close from there existed a notary's office of a friend of his family to who gave money to confirm his tricks when he found somebody that believed him and decided to go more far with his badnesses. - Very well, Jack. We go to the notary's office, now, so that I transfer all my money and my properties to you. When they had arrived at the notary's office, Paul did not find his friend, but, he decided to continue with his plan because he believed that all that employees already knew who he was and what he liked to make with the people. He called the boy that was seated behind the balcony, without knowing that he was in his first day of work and did not know, still, who was Paul nor his friend as owner of the establishment, and said: : - I want to donate to all my richness for this young man that I found in the beach. Please, you must to prepare a document so that everything was made of safe form and that it does not have possibility to revert my decision, in case that I repent me later. After some minutes, the employee presented the requested document so that he was signed by Paul, and, after that, he took care of to register everything in the Book of the Notary's office, being legalized its signature and supplying to an original copy the Jack. When they’re leaving the Notary's office, Paul said to his friend: "Then, do you believe, finally, that I'm a Magician?" - I don’t know what kind of magic you’ve done but I can guarantee to you that I am a lucky man, said Jack - Why do you say that? asked Paul - Because I was a Liar and now I am a rich man - Jack answered - even so I believe that the magician can be the more insurance form for who desires to manipulate a truth |
