Две бебета си говорят в корема на бременна жена.

Невярващото бебе: Вярваш ли в живота след раждането?

Вярващото бебе: Разбира се, че вярвам. Очевидно е, че има живот след раждането. Целта на престоя ни тук е да станем достатъчно силни и да се приготвим за живота.

Н: Пълни глупости! Не може да има живот след раждането. Можеш ли да си представиш що за живот ще е това?

B: Е, не знам подробности, но вярвам, че ще има повече светлина и ще можем да ходим с краката си и ядем с устата си.

A story about social change.

By Ken Keyes Jr.

The Japanese monkey, Macaca Fuscata, had been observed in the wild for a period of over 30 years.

In 1952, on the island of Koshima, scientists were providing monkeys with sweet potatoes dropped in the sand. The monkey liked the taste of the raw sweet potatoes, but they found the dirt unpleasant.

An 18-month-old female named Imo found she could solve the problem by washing the potatoes in a nearby stream. She taught this trick to her mother. Her playmates also learned this new way and they taught their mothers too.

This cultural innovation was gradually picked up by various monkeys before the eyes of the scientists. Between 1952 and 1958 all the young monkeys learned to wash the sandy sweet potatoes to make them more palatable. Only the adults who imitated their children learned this social improvement. Other adults kept eating the dirty sweet potatoes.

In the desert, fruit was scarce. God called one of his prophets and said:
     - Each person may only eat one fruit a day.
     The custom was obeyed for many generations, and the ecology of the place was preserved. Since the remaining fruit supplied seeds, other trees appeared. Soon, the entire region was turned into fertile soil, which was the envy of other towns.
     But the people continued to eat one fruit a day - they remained faithful to what the ancient prophet of their forefathers had told them. However they never allowed the inhabitants of other villages to take advantage of the abundant harvest with which they were rewarded each year.
     The result was that fruit rotted on the ground.
