Dialogue between Hermes and the sculptor

When Hermes heard what the sculptor said, his head would explode. He thought for a while and suddenly came up with a good idea, so he smiled and asked, "If I give you three silver dollars to buy a statue of Hermes, will you give it to me as a supplement?"

The sculptor couldn't believe his ears when he heard it. On second thought, he may have met the stupidest fool in the world and said, "Well, well, as long as you pay three silver dollars for two statues, it's not the same thing who will add heads."

Hermes said solemnly, "Impossible. I want you to tell me that the statue of Hermes is worth three silver dollars, and the statues of Zeus and Hera are the icing on the cake. "

The sculptor paused and said, "As far as you are concerned, the statue in Hermes is the most expensive, worth three silver dollars. As long as you pay three silver dollars for him, you can take the other two if you want, and I won't accept a penny; If you don't want it, I will throw it away. "

So Hermes happily spent three silver dollars to buy his own statue and returned to heaven contentedly. The sculptor is also very happy. He looked at the silver dollar in his hand happily and said to himself, "I didn't expect such a stupid fool in the world!" " He looked at the statues of Zeus and Hera and said, "These two can be sold for two silver dollars. "
