The Old Man gathered thousand of jugs and filled them with water. Then there was a promised day, when all the ponds in the world had been casted. People drank the water of these ponds and lost their minds. Only the Old Man drank the water from his jugs, so he saved his sanity. However, all the people around him thought, that it was he who was insane, as he was the only one, who never drank the water from the ponds, like others. So the Old Man stayed alone with his clear mind, separated from the insane people.
