HUMAN NATURE
Human beings react, not to reality, but to ideas in their heads...
A group of tourists, stranded somewhere in the countryside, were given old rations
to eat. Before eating the food they tested it by throwing some of it to a dog who
seemed to enjoy it and suffered no after effects.
The following day they learnt that the dog had died. Everyone was panic-stricken.
Many began to vomit and complained of fever and dysentery. A doctor was called in
to treat the victims for food poisoning.
The doctor began by asking what had happened to the body of the dog. Enquiries
were made. A neighbour said casually, “Oh, it was thrown in a ditch because it got
run over by a car.”
