A mail just came in. The message was "In two days, two gifts will come to you. One is for you, and the other one belongs to a woman who lives by the river. When you find out which one is for whom, please deliver it directly to the woman."

Day one, you got a box all wrapped nicely and neatly. It looked so fancy that you guessed you were about to receive a fancy, expensive gift. You assumed. You were very sure about it. Thus, you thought there's no need to open the box. "Just keep it inside the cupboard, I believe this one is for me", you said.

The day after, you got another box. This time, it was just a filthy unwrapped shoe box. The only word you had in your mind was 'Ewh'. So you took it to the other woman without any second thought.

One day, you needed money. So you opened the gift box you had been keeping in your cupboard to make some value from it. You took your first glance at the gift. A pair of socks you found. It shocked you, because you needed no socks and it was far from your expectation. Moreover, you wouldn't get any money from such pair of socks.

Then you remembered the woman who lived by the river. You asked her about the gift she received, and she said she no longer had it. Curiosity laid in your mind, so you questioned about what was actually there. "Some bars of gold. But I've had enough of gold, so I gave them away and got some pairs of socks in return because I need them to give to the poor kids", she said.

You almost fainted there, and regretted everything.

This is intended to people out there, who got fooled by outer appearances and decided to be fooled.
