There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Everyday after
work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He would always spend
all of his extra time playing with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra work to do
for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his little boy. But,
he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking
around his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover.
He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small
pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.
When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to play. The
man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn't play just now, but he
led the little boy into the dining room, and taking out all the pieces of the
map, he spread them on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world,
and that by the time he could put it back together, his extra work would be
finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for
hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's finished.
Can we play now.?"
The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And sure
enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every piece in
it's place.
The man said, "That's amazing ! How did you do that ?" The boy said, "It was
simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man
together the whole world fell into place."
