She drew out a pebble from the bag, and before looking at it "accidentally" dropped it into the midst of the other pebbles.
She said to the loan‐shark;
"Oh, how clumsy of me. Never mind, if you look into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble
I picked."
The pebble left in the bag is obviously black, and seeing as the loan‐shark didn't want to be exposed, he had to play
along as if the pebble the daughter dropped was white, and clear her father's debt.
Moral of the story: It's always possible to overcome a tough situation through out of the box thinking, and not give in to
the only options you think you have to pick from.
Have You Considered
Leaving A Legacy?
Have you considered leaving a Legacy to your lodge, St. John's Lodge No 2? If you have, please make sure that St. John's Lodge No 2
is included in your Wills and Trusts so that your legacy can continue to help promote Freemasonry in the State of Delaware
long after you have left your brethren behind. Freemasonry in Delaware has just celebrated its 200th anniversary. With your
help, maybe it can celebrate its 300th one day.
Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
