A boy is allowed by his mother to put his hand into a jar and take nut in it. And the boy had put his hand into the jar to take a pea, but because the boy took the beans with a huge grip, he could not pull her hand out, and there he stood on, not willing to release the grain peanuts from his grasp because he wanted to take it all at once. Because of curiosity and disappointment she began to cry.
"My son," his mother said, "Take the half-nuts handheld only, so you will more easily remove your hand from the jar, and maybe you'll be able to have more nuts if you took it over and over again."
"Do not do anything too much at once".
