Study Notes
The Story of the Daughter and the Father
- A daughter complains to her father about her difficult life and feels like giving up.
- The father, a cook, takes her to the kitchen to teach her a lesson.
The Boiling Water Experiment
- The father fills three pots with water and places them on high fire.
- He adds carrots to one pot, eggs to the second, and ground coffee beans to the third.
- All three pots are subjected to boiling water.
The Result of the Experiment
- After 20 minutes, the father removes the carrots, eggs, and coffee from the pots.
- The carrots become soft and weak.
- The eggs become hardened on the inside.
