Question

13．Mary had a problem that she got annoyed with everything easily．She felt bad about everything and always carried a negative thinking．She developed all these negative aspects suddenly．
One day she felt she was so miserable and requested help from her dad．
Her father comforted her and took her to the kitchen．
He asked Mary to take a potato，an egg and two spoonfuls of tea leaves．Mary was surprised，"Do you want me to cook？"Her father denied．He then put three containers on the stove and poured one cup of water in each container．Once the water started to boil，he dropped separately potato，egg，and tea leaves in each container．
Mary was totally annoyed and asked her father why to do those stupid things．He asked her to wait for a few more minutes with patience．
The impatient daughter managed to wait for around 15 minutes．The father removed the potato from the pot and placed in a plate and did the same with eggs．He poured the tea into a cup．Then he placed the two plates，one with the potato and the other with the egg，and the cup of tea in front of Mary．
"what do you see？"
She said，"Potato，Egg and a cup of tea!"
"No，touch it and reply me again．"said the father．
Mary couldn't find the correct answer．
Her father said，"The potato was so hard before boiled，but now they turned soft and smooth．Also，the egg was too delicate but after boiling it become too hard．Sip the tea，it is delicious!
Mary asked，"What does it mean，father？I don't understand!"
"Each object responded differently to water．That is how you have to be．Each object was put under the same kind of circumstance，faced similar adversity，but reacted differently．The potato became weaker．The egg became harder and the tea leaves are unique．It changed the water itself，giving it unique flavor!it gave something new．"
