Orientation

One day, the little boy was very hungry. He was happy to see a jar of nuts were one of his favorite things to see.

Complication

“Ah, I’d like some of these nuts. I’m sure mother would give them to me. But I can’t ask her. Because she isn’t here yet. I’ll just take a big handful. I’m sure it’s okay” said the little boy.

Then the little boy put his hand in the jar and grabbed a big, big handful.

However, when he tried to pull his hand out, he couldn’t. The neck of the jar was too small. His hand was stuck.

He tried and tried, again and again. But he couldn’t take the whole handful out. Soon, he started to cried.

His mother walked into the room and asked. “What’s the matter? Why are you crying?”  then she looked little boy’s hand and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I can’t take this handful of nuts out of the jar,” cried the little boy.

“Well, don’t be so greedy,” his mother answered. “Just take two or three nuts. Then you can take your hand out easily”.

Resolution

He tries her advice … and of course, it worked.
