Walk with your head down in the rain.

I heard a joke when I was a child, and I always remember it, but I never understood the mystery.

It is said that there is a fool walking in the rain with his head down, slowly, just walking in the rain. Passers-by rushed past him with all kinds of rain gear or rain gear on their heads, shouting: hey, fool, run, it's raining! The fool answered slowly, isn't it raining ahead, too?

Because of his dull nature, I have never understood whether the fool in the story is a fool or not.

Once, I happened to be stranded on the same desert island with three successful people, so I asked them this joke: Do you think this fool is really stupid?

These three people have just finished hanging clothes and feel a little better. Besides, I just sent a delicious roast mutton to each of them. Thanks to their patience, they gave me some advice-if it weren't for a desert island, I'm afraid I couldn't buy such advice with a piece of goat meat.

The first person is the chairman of a large enterprise. He said solemnly, in my opinion, this fool is not a fool. Why don't fools run? Because he is a lazy man, lazy people always use stupidity as an excuse.

The second man is an excellent professional manager, who represents the perfect combination of social knowledge and wealth. He thought for a moment and said in a speculative tone, I don't think a fool has ever learned binary equations. Only illiterate people can understand such a simple binary formula of time and rainfall. I don't think he is a fool, he is illiterate.

I didn't identify the third person. Stories? Look at the way those two people are respectful to him. It's extraordinary. After listening to the first two people's answers, he shook his head gently and said solemnly, the fool put forward our heartfelt wishes. It's raining ahead, too, and we have nowhere to run. A fool is not stupid, he is a prophet.

The answers of these three people certainly benefited me a lot, but because I always bow my back when talking to them, I can't help but feel that there is a condescending arrogance in their answers, as if it really rained and I didn't bring rain gear. So, I feel very dissatisfied. It seems that my question has not been answered satisfactorily. Just then, three other people were trapped on this desert island. They belong to the grassroots. When they saw the fire, they didn't avoid anything. * * * came to bake clothes and ate up the rest of the goat meat without my invitation. I'll ask them the same question when they settle down.

Three people agree that this is really a fool.

One of them said, if you are not a fool, you should at least wear something as rain gear on your head.

Another man said, if he doesn't run to the front quickly, how will he know if it is raining ahead?

The third man said, it's raining. He doesn't want to go home to collect clothes quickly and walk slowly in the rain.

The answers of these three people made our discussion lively, and some people came to a conclusion: if there is shelter from the rain in front, it is better to run quickly, but if there is wilderness in front, it is better to run slowly like a fool.

After telling such a joke, it really began to rain, and people immediately became restless, stood up and ran away. I called them to stop at the back: hey, this is a desert island, there is no shelter from the rain, isn't it agreed to relax?

Someone left me a desperate message: Hey, it's raining, we have to do something to show that we know.

Until now, I still think this is the best answer I have got.
