The difference between logical thoughts and “lateral” thoughts.

There was once in a small village a farmer who owed an important sum of money due to be repaid to a very ugly old man.
![Page 4: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The farmer had a very pretty daughter that the old lender was sweet on,
the lender proposed a deal:
![Page 5: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
He said he would annul the debt if he could marry his daughter
![Page 6: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
.Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified about this proposition
![Page 7: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So, the old lender suggested hazard should determine the outcome of his proposition.
![Page 8: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
He told them he would put two pebbles one black and one white in an empty money bag,
![Page 9: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
And, the daughter would pick, without looking …

One of the two pebbles.

1) If she picks a black one, she must marry me And the debt to her father is eliminated…..
![Page 12: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2) If she picks the white pebble, she doesn’t have to marry me and the debt is also eliminated
![Page 13: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
3) If she refuses to pick a pebble, her father will go to jail
![Page 14: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
While speaking, the old lender leaned forward and picked up two pebbles.
![Page 15: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
As he was picking them up, the daughter with a sharp eye…
![Page 16: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Noticed he had picked up two black pebbles and put them in the money bag
![Page 17: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
But, she said nothing.
![Page 18: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The old lender asked the daughter to pick a pebble out of the bag
![Page 19: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
This discussion was taking place on the road in front of the farmer’s house and the road was paved with pebbles
![Page 20: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Imagine for an instant what you would have done.
![Page 21: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
What would you have suggested the daughter to do?
![Page 22: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
If we analyse the situation, there are 3 possibilities :
![Page 23: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1) The daughter refuses to pick a pebble
![Page 24: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
2) The daughter picks out both pebbles revealing the old lender cheated
![Page 25: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
3) The daughter picks out a black pebble and sacrifices herself by marrying the old « coot » and saves her father from emprisonment
![Page 26: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Take a moment to reflect on this
situation
![Page 27: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

This story means to illustrate a point…..
![Page 29: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
The difference between logical thought and so called “lateral”thought.
![Page 30: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The daughter’s dilemma cannot be resolved equitable manner
![Page 31: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
By traditional logic
![Page 32: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Think of the consequences of each of the three possible options.

So, what would you have done ?
![Page 34: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Here is what the young woman did :
![Page 35: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

She plunged her hand in the bag picked a pebble and, clumsily, dropped it on the ground
![Page 40: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
before it could be determined wheter it was black or white, it mixed with other pebbles on the ground
![Page 41: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Ah ! Gosh! I sure am clumsy, said the young woman….
![Page 42: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
But no matter: if I remove the other pebble from the bag ….
![Page 43: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
We will know which pebble I had picked first dont you think?
![Page 44: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Since the second pebble was black,,
![Page 45: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
The first had to have been white
![Page 46: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
. The old lender didn’t dare announce his cheating, ….
![Page 47: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
The young woman transformed a seemingly impossible situation
![Page 48: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Into a very advantageous ending !

Moral of the story:
![Page 52: Storyofthetwopebbles](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070317/55664ef5d8b42ab75e8b4c7c/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
A solution exists for most problems

It’s just that we don’t always know how to examine every angles of the situation
