在讀書會中,講師和我們分享了一則故事:有一群很愛打棒球的孩子,每天放學後都會約在一塊空地一起打棒球。然而住在空地旁的老伯伯,卻感到很困擾,有時候是孩子們喧鬧的聲音讓他很難受、有時候棒球真的會飛來打破他的窗戶。在讀書會中,講師和我們分享了一則故事:有一群很愛打棒球的孩子,每天放學後都會約在一塊空地一起打棒球。然而住在空地旁的老伯伯,卻感到很困擾,有時候是孩子們喧鬧的聲音讓他很難受、有時候棒球真的會飛來打破他的窗戶。老伯伯試過好好跟孩子們說、也試過很兇的趕走他們,但沒過幾天,孩子們又再次聚集到空地打棒球。於是老伯伯想到了一個方法......
一天下午,老伯伯走到正在打棒球的孩子們當中,跟孩子說:「以後只要你們來打棒球,我每個人給10元!」孩子們一副不可置信的樣子,但老伯伯真的掏出錢來,給了每個孩子一人10元。很快地,這個訊息傳開來,每天有愈來愈多人來打棒球,老伯伯也照例每個孩子給10元。過了一陣子,老伯伯又召集了孩子們,跟孩子說:「從今天開始,只要你們來打棒球,我每個人給5元!」孩子們哀鴻遍野,有的孩子大聲嚷嚷說:「那麼少!我不要再來打球了啦!」隔天,人數銳減了一大半。

再過一陣子,老伯伯再次召集孩子,說:「從今天開始,你們來打棒球,我不給錢了!」孩子們不甘心的要老伯伯別這麼做,但老伯伯很堅持,於是大部份的孩子生氣的說:「我再也不要來了啦!」隔天,空地只來了零零星星兩三位孩子,但人數不足沒法成局。而之後,也就真的沒有人來打棒球了...
