SOLVE this
Many years ago in asmall Indian village,Afarmer had the misfortune 0f owing a large sum of money to avillage moneylenderTheMoneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer'sbeautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargainHesaid he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter.Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposalSothe cunning money-lender suggested that they let Providence decide the matterHetold them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into anempty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble fromthe bag1) Ifshe picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debtwould be forgiven2)If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father'sdebt would still be forgiven3) Butif she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail Theywere standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field.As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles.As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he hadpicked up two black pebbles and put them into the bag. Hethen asked the girl to pick a pebble from the bag. Now,imagine that you were standing in the field. What would youhave done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, whatwould you have told her? Carefulanalysis would produce three possibilities: 1. Thegirl should refuse to take a pebble2.The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the bag And exposethe money-lender as a cheat. 3.The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order To saveher father from his debt and imprisonment. Takea moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used to make us appreciate the difference betweenlateral and logical thinkingWhatwould you recommend to the girl to do? Well,here is what she did .... Itis only that we don't attempt to think.
