Pippin's Question Box

Why do people look at the ceiling when they think?

People look at the ceiling because it distracts them from what is going on around them. Things like the sky, sunsets and the ceiling are much more peaceful to look at.

Here is a link about this topic:

Though this is outdated, these facts sum up pretty much everything that I found on other sites.

5 Fables

In the first story The Fox and the Goat I think that the moral or maxim is that you shouldn't trust strangers, or every person that you come across, because believe it or not there are bad people out in this world who will do anything for their advantage. In this case if the sheep would have thought he might have been out of the hole/ditch. In the second story The Crow and the Pitcher, I think the moral or maxim is that you should never stop trying, with perseverance comes success. The crow using his mind was determined for the water and with patience he added one pebble into the pitcher at a time and was able to raise the water level, and receive the water he deserved. In the next story The Fisher and the Little Fish I think the moral or maxim of the story is it is better to have something than have nothing. You should appreciate what you have. If the fisher did put the fish back the chances of getting the exact fish back ina few years would be one to a billion. In the fourth story The Four Oxen and the Lion I think that the moral or maxim is when you are together in a group you are stronger, when set apart or divided you are weaker. If the oxen had gone to the feild with one anther te lion wouldn't have killed them one at a time. In the final story The Wolf in the Sheep Clothing I think the moral or maxim is that looks can fool you and that you shouldn't always believe what you see. This is what I think the moral of these five stories are.
