Life’s trials often lead us to seek solace and wisdom from those we trust. A distraught woman, discovering her husband’s infidelity, turned to her wise grandmother for guidance. The grandmother’s response was unconventional but insightful.
She boiled three pots of water and placed a carrot, an egg, and coffee beans into separate pots. Perplexed, the granddaughter inquired about the purpose of this experiment. Her grandmother urged patience.
Afterward, the grandmother removed the carrot and asked her granddaughter to observe. The boiling water had softened the carrot, while it had hardened the egg. The coffee beans, however, had transformed the water.
