One afternoon, Sam called his children and showed them three toys. All the three toys looked similar but Sam showed holes in them. The first toy had holes in the both ears. The second toy had holes in an ear and the mouth. The third toy had a hole in an ear. Then with the help of a needle, Sam put a thread in the ear-hole of the first toy. The thread came out from the other ear. He said, “The first toy represents those people who give an impression that they are listening to you. But they just pretend to do so and don’t care. The thread is going into the ear and coming out from the second toy’s mouth. These people listen to you and use it against you by telling it to others. The thread does not come out of the third toy. These people will keep the trust you have in them. They are the ones you can count on.”
