The Old Man and His Cookie Tray

There once was an old man who carried around a cookie tray around with him everywhere he went. There were seven cookies on that tray and it was connected by a rope that hung from his shoulder and swayed while he walked. 

The villagers in the town were confused by this old man who carried the cookie tray. They did not know why he did it and they never got the courage to go up and ask him. 

His appearance was like an old mans should be: gray hair, hunched back, bags under his eyes.

But something in his appearance was very peculiar to the other villagers, something that never happened to the villagers. The old man has two sets of eyes, each a different color.
