Once upon a time in a small town lived a very wise old man that was very wise. He would be the guy that everyone in the small town would turn to him for guidance and advice. One day the wise old man was confronted by a little girl who asked him a question that she knew the wise old man wouldn’t know the answer to. The question was what is the bird in my hands dead or alive and if the old man said the bird was dead she would then open her hands and let the bird go. If the old man said alive she would squish the bird in her hands and say No! its dead. The chances that the old man would get the answer right was 50/50 and it was a 50/50 that the bird would die or not. In the mind of the little girl she wanted the old man to be wrong because she wanted to say to the whole town that the old wise man does not have the answer to everything and you should not take all of your advice from this old man that is wise and claims to know all about giving advice.
