Read:
A scientist lived locked in his laboratory, looking for answers to the world's problems. One day, his seven-year-old son barged into his living room, determined to help him. Impatient, the scientist asked his son to play elsewhere, however, without success. So he looked for some object that might entertain the boy's curiosity, soon finding the world map printed on the page of a magazine. He cut the map into several pieces, took a roll of duct tape and handed everything to his son, saying:
"Do you like puzzles?" So I'll give you the world, all broken, to fix. See if you can do it right.
He calculated that it would take the child days to recompose the map. However, a few hours later, he heard his son's voice:
“Dad, dad, I've done it all. I managed to finish everything!
In disbelief, the scientist looked up from his notes, certain he would see a meaningless map. But to his surprise, the map was complete, with everything in place.
— You didn't know what the world was like, my son. How did you get it?
— Dad, I didn't know what the world was like, I tried to fix it, but I couldn't. But when you took the paper out of the magazine to cut it out, I saw that, on the other side, there was a figure of a man. So I remembered that, turned the clippings over and started fixing the man I knew what he looked like. When I managed to fix the man, I turned the sheet and saw that I had fixed the world.
