Om Swami
A young boy lost one of his contact lenses while playing basketball in his driveway. He looked around a bit, as thoroughly as he could, but the lens was nowhere to be found.
He went inside and apprised his mother who told him that she would search for it herself.
‘But mum,’ he said, ‘I’ve already looked for it everywhere and it’s impossible to find. It’s tiny and totally transparent, as you know.’
The mother, however, still went outside to search and returned with the lens in her hand. All in a matter of less than ten minutes.
‘Wow!’ the boy exclaimed. ‘How on earth did you find it?’
‘Well, son,’ she replied, ‘we weren’t looking for the same thing. You were searching for a small piece of plastic. I, on the other hand, was looking for $200.’
