The Man and the Satyr

A Man and a Satyr (a forest creature) became friends.

One cold day, the Man blew on his hands to warm them.

Later, at dinner, he blew on his hot soup to cool it.

The Satyr was shocked and said, “You blow to warm and to cool? I can’t trust someone who uses the same breath for opposite reasons!”

Moral: People who act two different ways with the same thing may not be trustworthy.
