A short story that is related to our lesson for today.

A group of students placed 7 dogs in a cage and inside there is a bowl of food .
Every time a dog approaches the food bowl and tries to eat it, the students threatens the six dogs that he
will beat them.
After a while, every time a dog tries to eat the bowl of food, the other dogs beat it up.
After some time, no more dog approach the bowl and try to eat the food no matter what the temptation is.
Students decided to substitute one of the dogs. The first thing this new dog did was to come to the bowl. So the other
dogs beat him up.

After several beatings, the new member learned not to come close to bowl even though
he never know what the reason is.
A second dog was replaced and it did the same thing tries to eat the food. The first dog joined the beating
for the second dog. Up until all dogs was substituted by the new ones and the same thing was repeated
(beating).
What was left was a group of dogs that even though they never received a threaten, continued to beat up
any one who attempted to eat the bowl of food. And if it was possible to ask the dogs why, I think the
answer would be…

“I don’t know, that’s how things are done here”

Does this sound familiar?
