One child is sawing the branch… they’re sitting on. Bad idea, right? They’ll fall soon!
Another is cutting a branch, but they’re safe elsewhere. Perhaps a mistake, but not fatal.
A third doesn’t seem to be in immediate danger. A passivity that could cost them dearly.
The last one is observing the scene… without reacting. Are they the cleverest or simply indifferent?
The real question is: who is making the biggest mistake?
The answer: one choice that makes all the difference.
Did you figure it out? The boy in the red hat is the one who makes the most dramatic mistake. He saws off the branch he’s sitting on, inevitably jeopardizing his stability!
In life, as in this puzzle, taking a step back and analyzing a situation before acting can make all the difference!
And you, how long did it take you to find the answer? Share your observation in the comments!
