Aesop 2.0: 10. The Scholar And The Box



The Scholar was surprised to find a beautiful box delivered to his home, and wanted to know more about it. He went to a woodcutter, who told him the type of wood that the box was made of. He went to a carpenter, who told him about the way the wood had been joined together. He went to an artist, who told him about the style and form of the inlaid pattern of the design. But he didn’t ask the assassin inside his opinion.

“When examining an issue, don’t forget to get the view from inside as well as outside.”
