Do Not Underestimate

There was a farmer who grew watermelons. He was doing pretty well, but was disturbed by some local kids who would sneak into his watermelon patch at night and eat his watermelons.
After some careful thought, he came with a clever idea that he thought would scare the kids away for sure.

He made up a sign and posted it on the field. The next day, kids showed up and saw the sign whichread :
”Warning! One of the watermelon in this field has been injected with cyanide”.

Kids ran off, made up their own sign and posted it next to the farmer’s sign.
When the farmer returned, he surveyed the field. He noticed that no watermelons are missing, but the sign next to his read

“Now there are two”.

Do not underestimate your opponent; it’s not just important to be smart to get rid of an opponent, but we should also be able to predict and foresee the other side’s smartness.
