An old story retold.
Scene: It's a crisp, sunny fall day. Lion is strolling through the forest enjoying the fall foliage, when he sees Fox walking towards him down the path, head drooping down.
Lion: "Hello, Fox. Why are you looking so gloomy?"
Fox: "It's been like this all week. First my cub got sick, then the car started making a funny noise, and last night I accidently put my watch through the washing machine and it quit working."
Lion: "Well, I can't do much about the child or the car, but I can fix your watch for you."
Fox: "That'll be the day. You with your big claws? You would have trouble picking up the watch, let alone fixing the insides. You'll just break it even worse than it already is. I'd better take it into town."
Lion: "Let me take it into my den for a couple minutes. You'll be surprized."
So he disappears into his den with the watch. A few minutes later he returns: the watch is fixed.
Scene: Inside the lion's den
In one corner, next to the coffee machine, is a smug-looking lion lying on a couch cleaning his fur. In a second corner, there are piles of IEEE Computer, Byte Magazines, and Viz Comics reaching up to the ceiling. In the final corner, there are seven industrious rabbits surrounded by tiny parts and precision tools.
Moral: The lion doesn't care abt the details or how you gonna do it. you just have to deliver the results.
