A shopkeeper opened a store to sell fish. He made a beautiful signboard that read: "FRESH FISH SOLD HERE."
A passerby looked at the sign and laughed: "Why say 'HERE'? Do you sell fish on the moon or in the sky? Obviously, you sell it right here!" The shopkeeper thought the man was right, so he erased the word "HERE." The sign now read: "FRESH FISH SOLD."
A few days later, a customer came and asked: "Do you sell rotten fish? Why do you need to write 'FRESH'? It implies your fish might not be fresh!" The shopkeeper nodded and removed the word "FRESH." The sign read: "FISH SOLD."
Another neighbor came by and criticized: "Why say 'SOLD'? Are you giving the fish away for free? Or are you displaying it for fun?" The shopkeeper felt foolish and erased the word "SOLD." Now the sign just had one word: "FISH."
Finally, a man walked by and said: "I can smell the fish from the end of the street. Everyone knows you sell fish. Why do you need a sign?" The shopkeeper sighed and took down the sign completely. His expensive sign became useless because he listened to too many opinions without thinking.
Humor (Sự hài hước): The story mocks people who lack their own judgment. By trying to please everyone, the shopkeeper ended up with nothing (an empty sign).
Critical Thinking (Tư duy phản biện): This is a lesson about filtering advice. Not all feedback is useful. We must analyze suggestions before acting on them.
Sự hài hước: Câu chuyện chế giễu những người thiếu chính kiến. Vì cố gắng làm hài lòng tất cả mọi người, ông chủ cuối cùng chẳng còn lại gì (tấm biển trống trơn).
Tư duy phản biện: Đây là bài học về việc chắt lọc lời khuyên. Không phải góp ý nào cũng hữu ích. Chúng ta phải phân tích các gợi ý trước khi làm theo.
