The Four Fools of London

One foggy day in London, Sherlock Holmes was bored as usual. "Watson old chap, I need a challenge. Go find me the four biggest fools in all of England!" he declared.

Watson sighed but set out on his quest. A month later, he returned with just two men.

"Watson! I asked for four fools, yet you bring me two!" Sherlock scolded.

"Let me present them first before you judge," Watson replied calmly.

He pointed to the first man wearing a giant backpack. "I found this fellow carrying his bag atop his head while his donkey walked unladen. He said he didn't want the donkey doing extra work!"

Watson gestured to the second man. "This chap grew grass on his roof just to feed his cows upstairs! He didn't want to walk the grass down to them in the barn." ‍♂️

"Now see here Holmes, while searching for fools, I wasted a month on this silly task you assigned. So I'm the third fool!"

"And you, Holmes, are the fourth fool for sending me on this pointless goose chase in the first place!" Watson concluded with a smile.

Sherlock laughed and applauded his friend's ingenuity. "Well played, Watson! You always know how to turn my games against me." Though the case of the four fools remained unsolved, the two friends had shared a good chuckle!
