An older brother came in from the outdoors holding five small pellets in his hand. His younger brother saw the pellets and asked what they were. The older brother, not wanting to be bothered, told his younger brother to leave him alone.
A short time later, the younger brother, not being able to put it out of his mind, again asked his older brother, "What were those pills you had earlier?" Again, no answer from the older brother.
Finally, after being asked several times, the older brother confessed to his younger brother what the pellets were. "They are pills that will make you smarter, but don't tell anyone, OK."
This newly-discovered fact killed the younger brother; he had to have one of those pills because of a spelling test that he had the next day; so, he asked his older brother for one.
The older brother agreed; however, he made sure that his younger brother wouldn't tell anyone about the magic intelligence-enhancing pills; the younger brother agreed.
Now in his own room, the younger brother studied and studied, but could not spell every word correctly, no matter how hard he tried.
So, he went back and asked his brother for another pill; the older brother told his younger brother that he was right, that he probably needed more in order to reach his full intelligence.
About two hours go by, and after talking to his older brother and swallowing four of the pills, the younger brother told his older brother again, that he still felt nothing.
Finally, the older brother gave in to the constant questioning and allowed his younger brother to have the final and last intelligence-enhancing pill that he owned; and while taking the pill offered to him by his older brother, the younger brother stopped, looked at the last of the intelligence-enhancing pills that he had been eating all day and said, "Wait, these are not pills, they are old deer droppings!"
"Why yes", the older brother said, "you finally realized that?"
See, I told you that they would make you smarter.
