What Are You Listening For?
"The Cricket"
A Native American and his friend were in downtown
New York City, walking near Times Square. It was
during the noon lunch hour, and the streets were
filled with people.
Cars were honking their horns, taxicabs were
squealing around corners, sirens were wailing,
and the sounds of the city were almost deafening.
Suddenly, the Native American said,
"I hear a cricket."
His friend said, "What? You must be crazy.
You couldn't possibly hear a cricket
in all of this noise!"
"No, I'm sure of it," the Native American said,
"I heard a cricket."
"That's crazy," said the friend.
The Native American listened carefully for a moment.
Then he walked across the street to a big cement
planter where some shrubs were growing. He looked
beneath the branches, and sure enough, he located a
small cricket. His friend was utterly amazed.
"That's incredible," said his friend.
"You must have super-human ears!"
"No," said the Native American.
"My ears are no different from yours.
It all depends on what you're listening for."
"But that can't be!" said the friend.
"I could never hear a cricket in this noise."
"Yes, it's true," came the reply.
"It depends on what is really important to you.
Here, let me show you."
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a few
coins, discreetly dropping them on the sidewalk.
And then, with the noise of the crowded street
still blaring in their ears, every head within
twenty feet turned and looked to see if the
money_that_clinked on the pavement was theirs.
"See what I mean?" asked the Native American.
"It all depends on what's important to you."
