The jar was full of nuts

A little boy once put his hand into a jar.

The jar was full of nuts.

He tried to take out as many as his hand could hold.

But when he tried to pull his hand out, it was too large for the narrow neck of the jar.

The boy don’t want to lose his nuts.

The little boy started to cry.

His mother saw the little boy standing close by, and told him something wise.

“Be happy with half as many, and you will get them easily.”
