I see

I read this story (frm Allan Pease's book)about how we donot see wat we can see.
And i thought tht i mst share it with ya.

Two men were walking through the woods when they came
across a big deep hole.
'Wow ... that looks deep,' says one. 'Let's toss a few pebbles
in and see how deep it is.'
They threw in a few pebbles and waited, but there was no
sound.
'Gee - that is a really deep hole. Let's throw one of these
big rocks in. That should make a noise.'
They picked up two football-sized rocks and tossed them
into the hole and waited, but still they heard nothing.
'There's a railway sleeper over here in the weeds,' said one.
'If we toss that in, it's definitely going to make some noise.'
They dragged the heavy sleeper over to the hole and heaved it
in, but not a sound came from the hole.
Suddenly, out of the nearby woods, a goat appeared,
running like the wind. It rushed towards the two men and ran
right between them, running as fast as its legs could go. Then
it leaped into the air and disappeared into the hole. The two
men stood there, astonished at what they'd just seen.
Out of the woods came a farmer who said, 'Hey! Did you
guys see my goat?'
'You bet we did! It was the craziest thing we've ever seen! It
came running like the wind out of the woods and jumped
into that hole!'
'Nah,' says the farmer. 'That couldn't have been my goat.
My goat was chained to a railway sleeper!'
