题目内容
20．Once a man needed a new pair of shoes．This man was very good at math．He knew that in order to get shoes that fit very well，it would be necessary to measure his foot size correctly．So，before he went to the market，he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper．Then before leaving the house，like a good mathematician，he rechecked his picture．
It was a very long way from the man's home to the market．It was past mid-day when the man arrived at the market．When the man reached the shoe stall．He realized that he had forgotten to bring his paper．He turned around and walked all the way back home to get it．
It was nearly sunset when the man returned to the market．There he found the market was closing．The shoemaker had packed up all of his shoes．"Foolish man，"the shoemaker said to the man when he was asked to unpack hid goods to make a sale．"Why did you not just try on the shoes？"
The man hung his head shamefully，saying，"I guessed there was only one way to solve my problem．I should have checked with others for another solution that might have worked as well or better than my own．"
The above short story works well with school students and also teachers．Don't try to solve a problem with a single point of view； there may be many other ways of solving the same problem．
