$ A Fairy 4rm Fairyland [Tale]

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The Moneylender, who was old, fat and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter.

So he proposed a bargain.

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

So the cunning moneylender 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 moneybag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.

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

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

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:

The girl should refuse to take a pebble.

The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag and expose the moneylender as a cheat.

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 moneylender 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.

$ Murphy's laws on girls !!! [Nice]

1. If u think a girl is beautiful, she'll always have a boyfriend toconfirm that

2. the nicer she is...the quicker u will be dumped!!!!!

3. The more the makeup, worse the looks...

4. "99% of the girls in this world are beautiful. Remaining 1%would always be in your company."... ......... .....100% true

5. The guy standing next to a beautiful girl can never be her brother.

6. If by any chance the girl you like , likes you too, she willlet you know in about 10 years from now ,when you are committed..

7. The more you ignore a girl, the more she'll want to be friends with you.

8. Theory of relativity.. ....The more u run towards a hot chick....the more she goes away from u...

9. Rule 1:Even if you got her out alone... just when you are about to let her know about your feelings...she will spot a long lost friend( I guess from Kumbhka Mela)Corollary to rule 1:The more desperate you are to tell your feelings to a girl on a privatechat, the more probability the long lost friend she discovered is a handsome superman, who beats you in everything 9:1Axiom 1:The more dedicated you are to the girl, the longer it takes before thingswork out, but ultimately it will (somesmile for the guys)

10. the day the chick you really like comes and speaks to you will be the day when-1. You are dressed badly2. You forgot to brush your teeth for the first time in your life 3. Havea bad hair day

11. all the good girls are either nuns or married .the rest goaround with u and ruin ur money,health and leave u a total wreck.

12. the more seriously u like a girl...the more seriously her dadwill hate u

13. the love you shower a girl with is directly proportional to the number of bullets her dad will be showering at you*
