Foolish Juan
Ok everyone's picking on little Johnny, I bet he feels sad and is crying right now.
One day Juan's uncle gave him money and said "Juan, I want you to go to the market and buy a clay pot, be careful as it will break easily."
So Juan goes to the marketplace and buys a pot, he drops it (he got distracted somehow, maybe he tripped over a chicken or something) and in breaks into several pieces.
"Oh no! My uncle will be very angry at me" So he grinds up what's left of the pot into a powder and sells it to people saying it's flea powder.
He uses the money to buy another pot and takes it home. The next day a bunch of people comes to the uncle's house and knocks on the door yelling "Hey where is your nephew? He sold us defective flea powder that just causes more fleas"
The uncle asks Juan what he did in the market and Juan told him about the pot. The uncle says "Ok I'll handle this" and goes to the door.
The people yell "We want our money back" and the uncle says "You didn't use the flea powder correctly, first you have to catch the flea, then open the flea's eye and put it in"
