A woman had 100 children.
She sadly did not have the creativity to name them all unique names so she named each one a number from 1-100. One of them was named “One”, the next was “Two” and so on all the way to one hundred.
But, in a tragic accident, 99 of the children died. The only one who survived was the one named “Ninety”.
Ninety eventually grew up an lived a whole life and she even had a few children of her own. One day, while Ninety’s children were playing outside, they stumbled upon a stray dog and they decided to keep it. Ninety did not want the children to have a dog so they hid it and named it “This” so that they could talk about it around their mom without her knowing. They would say “Let’s go take This outside” and things like that behind their mom’s back.
One day, while Ninety’s children were not paying attention, This walks out into the middle of the street and gets hit by a car. This eventually dies and the children don’t tell their mother even then. No one else ever hears about This ever again.
Only Ninety’s kids remember This.
A man has the opportunity to win a million dollars if he can cross lake Superior in a 16 foot sailboat.
The people sponsoring the challenge give the man two choices of what he can bring on the boat to assist him. He can either bring a large box of novels or two criminals. However, the people running the competition get to choose what the books are and who the criminals are.
The man realizes there could be benefits to either choice. Perhaps the box of novels could be about sailing or survival. On the other hand the criminals could be experienced in sailing or survival.
He decides the most important thing about either is gonna be how heavy they are. He is going to be using a really small boat and too much weight could slow him down or cause him to sink.
In order to figure out which one will benefit him the most he decides to weigh the prose and cons.
