An army general busy in his work is constantly being disturbed by his kid son. To avoid this, the general comes up with a task to keep his son occupied - he tears up a world map into many pieces and asks his son to rearrange it. Hoping that it would keep his son busy for the rest of the afternoon, the general continues with his work.
Half an hour later, his son comes back showing him the correctly rearranged map.
The surprised general asks, "How did you do it so quickly? "
The son answers, "At first I tried piecing-up the world together, which would have taken a lot of time, but then I found the picture of a man on the back of the map. So, all I had to do was set the man right and the world became all right"

I did not like this fable the first time I read it in The Hindu a long time back. But back then, I did not know the difference between a fable and a story. Also, it was boringly titled 'First step to changing the world is changing yourself' or something like that. So, its okay if you don't like this post - you are just being immature, stupid, idiotic and moronic :P
