Answer:
Look doser,' he said, and touch the potatoes. She did and noted that they
were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off
the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the
coffee. Its rich aroma brought a smile to her face.
'Father, what does this mean?' she asked.
He then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each
faced the same adversity, the boiling water.
However, each one reacted differently.
The potato went in strong, hard, and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it
became soft and weak.
The egg was fragile, with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior
until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard.
However, the ground coffee beans were unique. After they were exposed to
the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new.
'Which are you,' he asked his daughter. When adversity knocks on your
door, how do you respond? Are you a potato, an egg, or a coffee bean?"
