When in Doubt - ASK - but Ask the Right Person
Once, there was a General who wanted to cross a river. He was unsure of the depth of the river and whether his horse could make it across. He looked around for help and saw a little boy nearby. He asked the boy for advice. The boy looked at the size of the General's horse and paused for a moment. He then confidently told the General that it was safe for the General and his horse to cross the river. The General proceeded to cross the river on his horse. As he reached the middle of the river, he suddenly realized that it was, in fact, very deep, and he almost drowned. After recovering from his shock, he shouted at the boy and threatened to punish him. The boy was stunned and innocently replied, "But General, I see my ducks crossing the river every day without any problem, and my ducks have shorter legs than your horse."
