The Trap

By the time Persian empire ascension a young believer needed a few nuts because his wife has promised to cook fesenjan, a food prepared with nuts. Excited by the thought that his wife will prepare his favorite food, he slipped into a deep pantry and put his hand in a bowl of nuts about half a meter high which was nuts about the height of a hand breadth and grabbed as many nuts could each contain one-handed. When he tried to pull his arm from the vessel, the vessel because the mouth is very narrow, it stuck. As much pulled and

twisted, the vessel did not want to release the arm. He cried, moaned and cursed even as a believer ought

not to do. But nothing helped him. Even when his wife grabbed the jar and pulled it with all his might, nothing happened. Young hand stuck inside the vessel. After several vain attempts, they had called on their neighbors for help. All they watched with interest the scene unfolded before them. One of the neighbors took a look  and asked the young man how this accident happened. With a pathetic voice and groans of despair, the young man told the whole  accident. He told his neighbor:

- I will help you if you do exactly what I tell you.

- I promise to do whatever you ask me if I'll be free of this jar.

- Then I reached deeper into the jar.

This seemed strange to young; Why should dig deeper into the ship, when I wanted to get her out?

But he did as his neighbor was told.

The neighbor continued:

- Now open your hand and then dropped nuts that hold in your hand.

This demand has upset him young. After all, he wanted his favorite nuts for food and now simply had to let them go. Wavering, he followed the instructions that help.

The man said now:

- Shake hands and slowly pull it out of the bowl.

The young man did so, and, behold, without any difficulty, he pulled his hand from the vessel. But it was not entirely satisfied.

- My hand is free now, but where are the nuts?

When neighbor took the jar at an angle and allowed to roll as many nuts the young need. With wide eyes and gaping, he asked the young man:

- Are you a magician?

Genes miser of us who do not cease to only in one direction: the shortest path to the target. Perhaps it would be better to lean more on alternative solutions.

In India uses this method to catch monkeys!

It picks a coconut or a wooden stump in which a hole as big as fit only to hand the monkey!

The hub or coconut binds to a tree with a rope. Inside lay an orange or a fruit as bait enticing.

In fact the "key to success" this technique is the effort needed to do to reach the monkey trap. Just this effort is the one who "cling" monkey psyche. If the road would be easier to trap the animal could get much easier to loot willingness to renounce it would be much increased. The route is very hard to create a fiercely monkey prey to not give up on what eventually makes itself prey to someone else.

I hope that each of you can learn something useful from this story.
