The World Is A Puzzle

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much.

Everyday after work the man would come home and play with the little

boy. He would always spend all of his extra time playing with the

little boy.

 

One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra

work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play

with his little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy

something to keep him busy. So, looking around his office, he saw a

magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea.

He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small pieces.

Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.

 

When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready

to play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn't

play just now, but he led the little boy into the dining room, and

taking out all the pieces of the map, he spread them on the table.

He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he

could put it back together, his extra work would be finished, and

they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for

hours, he thought.

 

About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay,

it's finished. Can we play now.?"

 

The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see."

And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put

together, every piece in it's place.

 

The man said, "That's amazing ! How did you do that ?" The boy

said, "It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a

man. When I put the man together the whole world fell into place."
