Awakening!

Happened to read this article in "Frozen Thoughts". A gist from it is here.

"Maturity is in factoring the immaturity of others"

A very small story that explained a lot of things!

"A father had the habit of reading the newspaper at the end of everyday. On one of the evenings, his little daughter wanted him to play with her, while he still wanted to read the newspaper. He came up with an idea. In the last page of the newspaper , there was a half page advertisement of a courier company with the world map printed on it. He tore that portion of the paper into big enough pieces , scattered them all over the floor and told his daughter "This is your jigsaw puzzle. Get the map right and we shall play". In the next 5 minutes, while he was into his newspaper, the girl screamed "See appa! I did it". Looking at the stunned expression in her father's face, she added, "Appa, I know you are wondering, how I managed it so fast. As you were tearing the pieces , I noticed the picture of a man on the other side of the paper. Appa, i don't know where is Greenland, where is New Zealand, where is Burma etc.. but I know where the nose should be , where the forehead should be and where the chin must be. I got the man right and the world became right!"
