Question

One day an old man is selling a big elephant. A young man comes to the elephant and begins to look at it slowly.

Then the old man goes up to him and says in his ears, “Don’t say anything about the elephant before I sell it, then I will give you some meat.”

“All right,” says the young man. After the old man sells the elephant, he gives the young man some meat and says, “Now, can you tell me how you see the bad ears of the elephant?”

“I didn’t find the bad ears,” says the young man. “Then why do you look at the elephant?” asks the old man.
