Riddle. Try and guess it?

He was the worlds shortest man, he was blind. He had a cane to help him get around. The worlds second shortest man was jealous, so cut the cane each day, leaving sawdust. The shortest man killed himself because he thought he was growing and thus lost his means of support.
 
The man is a blind midget, the shortest one in the circus. Another midget, jealous because he's not as short, has been sawing small pieces off of the first one's cane every night, so that every day he thinks he's taller. Since his only income is from being a circus midget, he decides to kill himself when he gets too tall.

or...

Instead of sawing pieces off of the midget's cane, someone has sawed the legs off of his bed. He wakes up, stands up, and thinks he's grown during the night!!!
 
Somebody asked this question before and the answer given by the first person and the guy who copied him stole the Best Answer from that. Just so yah know.
 
"he" was the shortest man in the world,
in the habit of checking this status by measuring himself with a
wooden stick of the same length as his height. His rival, the
second shortest, had engineered a heart attack by shortening the
stick, thus leading the deceased to believe that he had grown, and
that his livelihood was in jeopardy. (He makes his living from
his lack of height, e.g. in a circus.)
