    • Throughout the centuries people have explained the rainbow in various ways. Some have accepted it as a miracle without physical explanation. To the Hebrews it was a token that there would be no more universal floods. The Greeks used to imagine that it was a sign from the gods to foretell war or heavy rain. The Norsemen considered the rainbow as a bridge over which the gods passed from earth to their home in the sky. Others have tried to explain the phenomenon physically. Aristotle thought that the rainbow was caused by reflection of the sun's rays by the rain. Since then physicists have found that it is not reflection but refraction by the raindrops which causes the rainbows.
    • Once upon a time, there was a kingdom where the people were ruled by a fair and just queen. The queen had a son who was the apple of her eye, and she loved him more than anything in the world. However, the queen soon fell ill and died. Her son was heartbroken and mourned her death for many years. One day, he decided to go on a journey to find a cure for his sadness. He traveled to many different countries and met many people, but he still could not find a way to heal his broken heart. Finally, he came to a kingdom where the people were ruled by a wicked queen. The queen was very mean to her subjects and made them do all the hard work. The prince was so tired of being treated badly that he decided to stay in the kingdom and overthrow the queen. He took control of the kingdom and made it a place where the people were treated fairly and with respect. Finally, he was able to heal his broken heart and live happily ever after.

    • An American businessperson was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisher docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellowfin tunas. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. The Mexican replied, that it only took a little while. The American then asked why he did not stay out longer and catch more fish. The Mexican said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs.

    • You wish to know all about my grandfather. Well, he is nearly ninety- three years old. He dresses himself in an ancient black frock coat usually minus several buttons yet he still thinks as swiftly as ever. A long flowing beard clings to his chin giving those who observe him a pronounced feeling of the utmost respect. When he speaks his voice is just a bit cracked and quivers a trifle. Twice each day he plays skillfully and with zest upon our small organ. Except in the winter when the ooze or snow or ice prevents, he slowly takes a short walk in the open air each day. We have often urged him to walk more and smoke less but he always answers “banana oil.” Grandfather likes to be modern in his language.
    • The American scoffed. "I am a Wharton MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat, you could buy several boats. Eventually, you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman, you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing, and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA, and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."
