A slanderer spoke: "It was really wrong of me that I spread such lies about you. I will take back everything." The
slandered one answered: "As a token that you really
are serious, please take this pillow filled with
feathers back to your house. There you open it and come
back again to my house. With each step that you do throw a handful
of feathers into the air."
 The
slanderer did as he was told and after some time he stood in front
of the slandered one´s house with the empty pillow case
in his hands .
 The
slandered one spoke: "And
now go back again to your house, collect all the feathers
and put them back into the pillowcase."
 The slanderer answered: "Even
if I do my very best- I won´t be able to pick up every single
one! There are too many feathers and I don't know where
they all landed. How will I know which way they took?"
