Looking For A Pony
There was a psychiatrist that wanted to determine what makes people act in certain ways. So, he took a boy and a girl and brought them separately into a room filled with toys. Both children went crazy and laughed and ran around the room trying to play with each toy before their time was up.
The next day, the room was filled with manure instead of toys. The little boy smelled it before the door was ajar and refused to go inside to play, telling the psychiatrist how mean he was because he wanted him to go into that filthy room. He complained that all the toys were gone and it was the psychiatrist‘s fault.
However, the little girl smelled the manure and went into the room, wildly throwing the manure everywhere. When the psychiatrist asked the little girl what she was doing, she replied, “With all that manure in there, there had to be a pony in there too”.
She was looking for the pony. And sometimes in life, that is the best approach.
