Why Everyone Cannot be Jack of All Trades

 House of the family was of old pattern where pitches were fixed in the walls of rooms. Said pitchers were used for storage of wheat in these. This family had also goats in its house. One day, one goat, which had horns, tried to eat wheat from the pitcher and entered its head in the pitcher. In this effort, goat's head was struck in the pitcher and she was unable to get it out.

Now the poor family was very much worried as they were unable to get any solution. This family had an old man who was bed ridden, but deemed to be very wise within the family.

So everyone agreed to get advice from that old man to get the solution. The whole family gathered around the old man's bed and put their problem in front of him. The old man heard the situation and remained very calm to dig out the solution.

Now the old man started his advice and told the family to fall down the room in the wall of which, the pitcher was, in which goat was struck. The family executed as per instruction, now the goat was with the pitcher, and moving around, but still not free of that pitcher. The family again went to the old and again told about the situation. The old man smiled and told the family to cut the head of goat. Same was done by poor family. Now goat had died, even then its head was in the pitcher. Again old man was consulted, now he gave a solution to break the pitcher. By doing this head of goat got free of pitcher.

Now the old man started weeping in front of family. On inquiring, he told, I am weeping because I am worried about, who will give you such useful advices after my death.
