Experiments of Potatoes, Eggs and Coffee Beans on a little child

Potatoes, Eggs, Coffee Beans: This is the story of a little boy who learns to solve a problem using potatoes, eggs and coffee beans. 

A little boy named "Ashim" lives with his parents in a beautiful house. One day his father found him crying and asked if something had happened. Ashim says quietly "I have many problems in my life" and talks about his "problems". Ashim's father listens patiently. Then he brings a bowl and fills it with potatoes, eggs and coffee beans. He asks Ashim to touch and feel the ingredients in the bowl and tell him what he thinks. Ashim describes how touch makes you feel. The father smiled and asked Ashim to put them all in three different bowls and fill them with water. Then he cooks them all. After a few minutes, his father turns off the stove and sets all the bowls on the counter to cool. As they cool, Ashim's father touches him again and asks him to touch the eggs, potatoes, and coffee beans. Ashim has a different answer this time. It also made peeling easier, he says, because the potato skins were so soft, the eggs hardened, and the beans smelled like fresh coffee. His father smiles at Ashim's story and tells him how potatoes, eggs and coffee beans have reacted to adverse circumstances. The potatoes became soft, the eggs became very strong, and the coffee beans completely changed shape during the boiling water test.

Moral: Problems are part of life. How we react to it makes us better. It's better to solve a problem five different ways than to solve five problems in one way.
