The Fool and the Bridge

This tragi-comic story happened in Istanbul many years ago.
A man came to Istanbul. It was the first time he had been in such a big city. He had come to earn lots of money. But he was a foolish man.
On his first day in Istanbul he met Dolop Osman who was a well-known swindler. But he didn't know anything about Osman. When they were looking at the Bosphorus bridge Osman said to him:
"Do you want to buy it? If you buy it you can earn a lot of money!"
The foolish man smiled and said:
"I think I haven't got enough money to buy it. Isn't it expensive?"
"Don't worry you are my fellow townsman."
So the foolish man bought the bridge by handing over all his money.
But when he tried to collect money from the cars crossing the bridge, the drivers called the police!
