There was a jar on the desk. It was full of filberts . A boy put his hand into the bottle and grasped as many as his hand could hold. However, when he tried to pull his hand out, it was too large for the small neck of the jar.
The boy didn't want to lose the filberts, but he didn't know what to do. He began to cry. A wise man was passing by. He stopped and told the boy, “If you are only happy with half the filberts, you will easily get your hand out. Maybe you will get the other half some other day.”
· Don't attempt too much at once.
