This is a sweet story with a lesson to it that I found helpful and, I suspect, you will, too.
Keep Your Résumé Up-To-Date
A teacher asks a little boy, “if I give you two mangoes, and then another two mangoes, how many mangoes will you have?” And he answers “five.”
So she’s kind of surprised and asks him again, using her fingers to help him count. And she goes, again how many mangoes would you have? And he goes, ” five!”
So she gets annoyed at him and says, “Okay, if I gave you two strawberries and then another two strawberries, how many would you have?” Of course, this time she’s getting annoyed and said, “Okay, we’re back on track.” Now, if I gave you a 2 mangoes and then another two mangoes, how many would you have? And he goes five.
And now she’s confused and says “How is that possible?” And he goes, “I’ve got another one in my bag.”
Don’t be so quick to judge people and their answers. Okay?
