People had been visiting the wise woman, complaining about the same problems every time. One day she told them a joke and everyone roared in laughter.

After a couple of minutes, she told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.

When she told them the same joke for the third time no one laughed anymore.

The wise woman smiled and said:

“You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?”
