One day, a passenger traveling on a ship noticed countless large and small underwater rocks with which the sea was dotted. Turning to the helmsman, he asked:
- Mr. Helmsman, how do you manage to pass among the many rocks? You probably know every pebble here so you can pass it.
“No,” answered the helmsman, “I don’t know the rocks, but I know the deepest places where the ship can be safely navigated.”
