Once, a man sold his well to a farmer. Next day when the farmer went to get the water from that well, the man didn't agree. He said, "I sold you the well, not the water, so you can't get the water."
The farmer became very sad. And he came to the judge in the office alone. He described everything and asked for help. The judge called up the man who sold the well to the farmer. He asked, "Why don't you let him use the water of the well? You have sold the well to him." The man replied, "I have sold the well to the farmer, not the water. That means he can't get the water from the well."
The judge smiled and said, "OK, as long as you have sold the well to him, and you say the water is yours, then you can't keep your water in the farmer's well. Either you pay for the farmer to keep your water, or you must take it out of his well right away."
The man understood that his idea couldn't work. The story tells us we can't cheat others, though we are smart. We can't win in the end.
