A man offered to pay a sum of money to his twelve-year-old daughter if she mowed the lawn. The girl went at the task with great zest and by evening the whole lawn had been beautifully mowed well, everything except a large uncut patch of grass in one corner!
When the man said he couldnt pay the sum agreed upon because the whole lawn hadnt been mowed, the girl said she was ready to forego the money, but would not cut the grass in the patch!
Curious to find out why, he checked the uncut patch. There, right in the centre of the patch, sat a large toad. The girl had been too tender-hearted to run over it with the lawn-mower.
Where there is love, there is disorder.
Perfect order would make the world a graveyard!
~ (Anthony de Mello)
