There was once an arrogant bodybuilder who was also a gourmand. He used to treat himself like a king. Once as he was walking boldly, he heard a shopkeeper and a barber bitching about him. The shopkeeper was saying “he is so arrogant and thinks that no one is smarter than him and no one can beat him.” The barber said, “well he's wrong, he’s the most stupid person in the village and except at strength, anyone can beat him at anything.” Unfortunately, the self-important bodybuilder was passing by and heard them. After hearing what they had to say about him, the bodybuilder said that "hey you foolish barber and shopkeeper, if you think that I am stupid then show me your brain.” The shopkeeper and the barber asked, “what do you mean?” The bodybuilder said, “I mean, let us have a competition.” So for the topic all three of them went to the village sarpanch. When they got there the village sarpanch said “you can have a competition of logical reasoning. I will tell the task at the time of the competition.” “okay?” The barber and the shopkeeper asked, “but what will be the rules of the game?”


So the bodybuilder said, “I have decided the rules of the game today.” The shopkeeper and the barber asked, “which are?” So the bodybuilder said, “if I win then you will have to give me money and your shop for free and if you win then I will leave my house and this village and I will live in solitude for the rest of my life.” So the competition began the same evening. That evening the sarpanch said that they will have to count the number of hair on their head. While the bodybuilder was literally counting the hair on his head the shopkeeper said that “I can not count the hair on my head because they are infinite in number.” The barber also had the same answer as the shopkeeper. The next morning the sarpanch announced that victory goes to the shopkeeper and the barber because the topic was logical reasoning and the bodybuilder had not used any logic whereas the shopkeeper and the barber had. So according to the rules of the game, the bodybuilder had to live in the forest in solitude for his whole life. He regretted being arrogant and learnt his lesson that arrogance always makes one pay.
