Good Story : The World Is A Puzzle

There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much.
Everyday after work the man would come home and play with the
little boy. He would always spend all of his extra time playing
with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had
extra work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to
play with his little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the
boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his office, he
saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got
an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into
small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.
When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was
ready to play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and
couldn't play just now, but he led the little boy into the dining
room, and taking out all the pieces of the map, he spread them on
the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that
by the time he could put it back together, his extra work would
be finished, and they could both play. Surely this would keep the
child busy for hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay,
it's finished. Can we play now?"
The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see."
And sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put
together, every piece in its place.
The man said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy
said, "It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a
man. When I put the man together correctly in place, the whole world fell into order."
