Simple Simon

One evening, Simple Simon met a pie man. The pie man was on his way to a food fair in the village.

“Dear pie man, let me taste one of your pies,” said Simple Simon.

“Alright, but first you have to give me a penny. Then I will give you a pie,” said the pie man.

“I’m sorry but I don’t have any money,” said Simple Simon. The pie man smiled and left Simple Simon standing by the roadside. Simon did not have a pie from the pie-man who did not give pie to the Simon because Simon did not give penny to the pie-man.
