A farmer had the misfortune Of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.


The Moneylender , who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful Daughter. So he proposed a bargain.


He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his Daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the Proposal.



So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matter.


He told them that he would put a black Pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would Have to pick one pebble from the bag.


1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.


2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.


3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.


They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As They talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he Picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two Black pebbles and put them into the bag.


He then asked the girl to pick A pebble from the bag.



Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have Done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you Have told her?



Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:


1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.


2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And expose the money-lender as a cheat.


3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To save her father from his debt and imprisonment.


Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with The hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral And logical thinking.


The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with Traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses


The above logical answers.


What would you recommend to the Girl to do?


Well, here is what she did ....


The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path Where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.


"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the Bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I Picked."


Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had Picked the white one. And since the money-lender dared not admit his Dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into An extremely advantageous one.


MORAL OF THE STORY:

Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't Attempt to think.

Well, I just started a new story. Tell me what you think of the beginning? I don't care if you tell me the truth, be honest.

Madison captured the warmth of the sunlight as she stepped out of her middle-class brick home. It was the beginning of an end or as her parents say, "The Freshman Year." She stumbled over the cement sidewalk in her gold ballet flats. She hoped her abercrombie navy blue cami under a denim blazer would aproove to the upper-class high-schoolers. It was warm enough for a dip in the pool, and she would do anything just to get out of the awkward first day of school.

Thats the first paragraph.
Hope you enjoyed :)

I am dead with either the flu or strep throat, both of which are running rampant in our city. My employer expects me to be here whether I am sick or not, because a lot of people quit and they don'y have anybody to cover me. They said if I can't be here, they'll have to let me go.
I have been working 76 hours a week for almost three months now...I have had TWO days off.
I really need my job, but I am sitting here at my desk literally crying because I feel so bad.

I just want to tell them to go to hell and walk out. But of course I won't. I just can't believe they won't let me have a couple of sick days. They'd rather have me here infecting every client that walks in........oh, and did I mention that my boss LIED and said he had a "business trip" to go on and therefore couldn't cover for me, but we all found out that he actually took the wife and kids to L.A for Spring Break?

Do you agree or disagree that I am being treated uinfairly?
