The Boy and the Nuts

A boy once thrust his hand into a pitcher nearly filled with nuts. He grasped as many as his hand could hold; but when he tried to draw out his closed fist, the narrow neck prevented him from doing so.
Unwilling to lose his nuts, yet unable to get them by drawing out his hand, he burst into tears. A person standing by finally gave him this wise and reasonable advice: "Be satisfied to take half as many, my boy, and you will get them easily."
