The Rat

It was a practical session in the psychology class.

The professor showed a large cage with a male rat in it.

The male rat was in the middle of the cage.

Then the professor kept a piece of cake on the side,

and kept a female rat on the other side.

 

The male rat went towards the cake and ate it.

Then the professor changed the cake,
and kept some bread.

The male rat ran towards the bread.

 

This experience went on with the professor

changing the food every time..

 

And each time,

the male rat ran towards the food item

and never towards the female rat.

 

The professor said:

"This experiment shows that food is the

greatest strength and attraction."

 

Then one student from the back rows said:

"Sir, why don't you change the female rat?

She may be his wife!"
