An apprentice dropped his gold ring inside his house. But the house was dark and there was a great amount of furniture which he needed to move in order to continue his search. So, lacking the determination his task required, he went outside and began to look around the courtyard. His teacher passed by and asked him what he was looking for. ‘I have lost my gold ring,’ said the apprentice. ‘Where did you lose it?’ asked his teacher. ‘In my bedroom,’ said the apprentice. ‘Then why are you looking for it out here?’ ‘There’s more room out here,’ the apprentice replied. ‘It makes my task easier.’
