A Story on Common Sense

A group of scientist together with a young guide were trekking through a forest in search of an ideal area to setup camp, when they came across the skeletal remains of what appeared to be a massive and magnificent creature. The scientists were very excited about their find, and decided that they would first reconstruct the creature piece by piece and thereafter bring it back to life.

As the weeks passed, the young guide looked on with amazement at how swiftly the team of brilliant scientist had reconstructed the massive body and were now starting on the head. A few weeks later they had accomplished what had appeared to be an insurmountable task! And just as they were about to revive the magnificent creature, the young guide took one look at it and shouted for them to stop while he quickly climbed up the highest tree he could find. The scientist just laughed at him and proceeded to bring the creature back to life. Only the young guide lived to tell this story……

The beauty of this simple short story is that there is more than a single lesson to be learnt from it.
