Drum Problem = Woody's Revenge

There was once a small boy who banged a drum all day and loved every
moment of it. He would not be quiet, no matter what anyone else said
or did. Various attempts were made to do something about the child.

One person told the boy that he would, if he continued to make so
much noise, perforate his eardrums. This reasoning was too advanced
for the child, who was neither a scientist nor a scholar.

A second person told him that drum beating was a sacred activity and
should be carried out only on special occasions. The third person
offered the neighbors plugs for their ears; a fourth gave the boy a
book; a fifth gave the neighbors books that described a method of
controlling anger through biofeedback; a sixth person gave the boy
meditation exercises to make him placid and docile. None of these
attempts worked.

Eventually, a wise Woody came along with an effective motivation. He
looked at the situation, handed the child a hammer and chisel, and
asked, "I wonder what's inside the drum?"

Wise old sage that woody

little did they know he banged that drum because he had wanted to walk to his own beat follow his own heart and mind not follow as sheep do, make his own mark on the world.
