Remember the story of the madman who told a sane man how to fix his tyre that had no bolts. The man had had a flat on a lonely bridge. While he was trying to change the tyre, the four bolts rolled down the bridge into the dirty water below.
Our man – a wise man by all standards –stood gazing at the pool of water in despair. A madman, who had been watching him from a distance, came close to him, laughed at his stupidity (and madness) and pointed three times at his car, saying, “One here, one here, one here and you go your way.”
The man chased the madman away, but when he looked at one of the tyres on his car and repeated mockingly what the madman said, “One here, one here, one here and you go your way,” he realised that his problem was solved. He took one bolt from each tyre that had four bolts and fixed the tyre that had no bolt at all and went his way. Unfortunately, the madman, who gave him the idea, was no longer around and he could not thank him for providing the answer to his problem.
