Soul Food A teacher shows three toys to a student and asks the student to find out the differences. All the three toys seem to be identical in their shape, size and material. After keen observation, the student observes holes in the toys. 1st toy had holes in the ears. 2nd toy has holes in ear and mouth. 3rd toy has only one hole in one ear. With the help of needle the student puts the needle in the ear hole of 1st toy. The needle comes out from the other ear. In the 2nd toy, when the needle was put in ear the needle came out of mouth. And in the 3rd toy, when the needle was put in, the needle did not come out. First toy represent those people around you who give an impression that they are listening to you...But they are actually not.. After listening, as the needle comes out from the next ear, the things you said to them by counting on them are gone. Second toy represent those people who listen to you and give an impression that they care for you. But as in the toy, the needle comes out from mouth. These people will use your cares and the words you tell them against you by telling it to others. Third toy, the needle does not come out from it. These kinds of people will keep the trust you have in them. They are the ones who you can count on. Moral: They say make many friends but trust a few. Sometimes its good to shut up....dont tell everyone your problems, plans, goals...it just might even hinder your progress.
