The Man And Satyr

Satyr, half-animal, is supposed to be the god of the woods. One day, Satyr met a man who was cutting wood in the jungle. They became good friends. Most of the time, Satyr stayed in the jungle while the man lived in a hut at the edge of the woods.

One day in winter, they bumped into each other in the forest and started talking. The man cupped his hands around his mouth to warm himself. Stayr asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"It's so cold here, I can't fell my hands,"explained the man. " I can make them feel warmer by blowing at the this way."

Stayr did not really get the point. Later, he was invited to the man's hut.

The man saw the bright flames in the fireplace, so he decided to cook a meal. He whipped up two servings of hot soup, one for Satyr and the other for himself. They sat down together to enjoy the soup.

As the soup was too hot, the man held the bowl near his mouth and started blowing. Stayr cool it down this way!"

Stayr stood up and said, " I don't think we can be friends any more! You're too weird! You're blowing hot and cold with that same breath of air. Unbelievable!" Then he left and they never met again after that.
