The conclusion of the story in yesterday’s blog entry

The girl put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble-strewn path where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.”Oh, how clumsy of me,” she said. “But never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked.”

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

This is a very enlightening story telling me that, in a pinch, I’m left-brain when it comes to problem solving, unable to see even the obvious, tending to panic. When not too much is at stake immediately, I seem to be mostly right-brain, intuiting rather than analyzing. What does the hemisphere theory say about situational switching of polarity?

Beloved Jochen, I know the thing is to just have fun!

One of my versions of the story (possibly it was one of my students’ endings — I don’t know if I thought of it myself) was that to save her father, she agrees to marry the yucky old man.

Because of her goodness, the old man is turned into a young handsome prince who does only good!

Will you think of an ending now, dear friend?

She had gone to Gloria for a fantastic course of Godwriting and immediately she asked God what was the right thing. God said: Open your eyes, beloved child of my heart, it is just an illusion. Change your toughts and everything will change. You are more than you belive about. You are the Infinite Being I love, the love I do.

Ah! I never thought of that. Wow. The perfect solution. It’s also just as interesting to read new and creative solutions.

Well, Querida, your fairy-tale ending and Patrizia’s wisdom ending seem to cover the spectrum, cleverness being somewhere in between. I like all the endings, Louise’s too, but what I really love is the fairy-tale one, desiring good so much and so single-mindedly that – – poof!
