Question

This is a story that explains how adversity is met differently by different people. There was a girl named Asha

who lived with her mother and father in a village. One day, her father assigned her a simple task. He took three

vessels filled with boiling water. He placed an egg in one vessel, a potato in the second vessel, and some tea

leaves in the third vessel. He asked Asha to keep an eye on the vessels for about ten to fifteen minutes while the

three ingredients in three separate vessels boiled. After the said time, he asked Asha to peel the potato and egg,

and strain the tea leaves. Asha was left puzzled – she understood her father was trying to explain her

something, but she didn’t know what it was.

Her father explained, “All three items were put in the same circumstances. See how they’ve responded

differently.” He said that the potato turned soft, the egg turned hard, and the tea leaves changed the colour and

taste of the water. He further said, “We are all like one of these items. When adversity calls, we respond exactly

the way they do. Now, are you a potato, an egg, or tea leaves?”
