Once there lived a happy
couple who had been together for decades. But after spending years together,
husband was concerned that his wife was not hearing well as she used to hear.
He thought that she might need a hearing aid but he wasn’t sure how to approach
her.
He called his family doctor
asked for suggestion. The doctor told him to test it with a simple idea. The
doctor said, “ Stand 40 feet away from her and speak as loud as you would speak
to her in a normal conversation. Observe if she hears you. If not, reduce the
distance into 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so until you get a response. The
distance will help us to estimate her requirements for the hearing aid ”
Next day , the husband saw his
wife cooking dinner in the kitchen. So he took the opportunity to check the
doctor’s Idea. He got 40 feet away from his wife and asked , “ dear what is
there for dinner?” . He waited for response but did not get any.
He moved a bit closer
and asked “ dear, what is there for dinner?”. He still did not get any response
from his wife.
He then stood twenty feet away
from his wife and asked the same question, hoping he would get a response this
time. But the wife did not respond.
He then stood just ten feet
away from his wife and asked “ Dear , What is there for dinner.” He did
not get any response
By now the husband was very
concerned and felt pity about how bad is his wife’s hearing.
Then he walked right behind
her and says, “ Honey, what is there for dinner. “
The wife shouted, “John, This
is the the fifth time I’m saying, CHICKEN..!!”
Moral:
Most often, the problem may
not be with others but could be very much within us.
