Short story....
On the right side of the house of a minister there lived a blacksmith, and on the left side, a carpenter. The blacksmith and the carpenter made noise night and day and disturbed the minister. When he could not take it anymore, the minister called the two and demanded that they move their houses.
One day the blacksmith visited the minister and said, "Your Excellency, i am moving my house today as desired by you". After a while, the carpenter also paid a courtesy call on the minister, saying, "Your Excellency, i am moving my house too". The minister was relieved to hear this, but pretended to be sorry at losing them as neighbors.
He treated them to good food and sent them off.
But strangely enough, the noise of sawing and hammering continued. The minister was both surprised and annoyed. He called his servants and ordered them to find out what was going on.
The servants came back with the news that the carpenter and the blacksmith did move houses as they had promised. The carpenter had moved to the blacksmith's houses, and the blacksmith's to the carpenter's, where they happily continued hammering and sawing night and day.....
