THE BOY AND THE NUTS
A glass jar half full of nuts stood on a table.
Albert, who was very fond of nuts, saw it. He climbed up on the
table and thrust his hand into the jar, grasping a whole handful.
He tried to pull his hand out. The mouth of the jar was too narrow
for his fist.
He pulled and pulled and became very angry at the jar, but it was
of no use.
At last he began to scream and cry. His mother hurried into the
room to find out what was the matter with him.
"What hurts you, Albert?" she asked.
"This old jar will not let me have this handful of nuts," cried
Albert.
His mother laughed when she saw the cause of all his trouble.
"Do you wish so many nuts?" she asked. "Try taking out a few at a
time."
Albert did as his mother told him to do, and found that he could
easily get the nuts.
"When you get into trouble again, my son, stop and think of a way
out, instead of screaming," said his mother.
