The Parable of the Jelly

There was once a firm jelly. This jelly was indeed solid because it was molded by the perfect hand. After a lot of tedious preparation, the maker decided to put the jelly in a bowl of hot soup. The jelly seemed pretty tough and able to withstand the pressure and the immensity, but later, the maker saw that it started to break-down and started becoming one with the soup. The maker decided to get the jelly out, but the soft jelly kept on sliding off his hands and returned to the soup, until later, the jelly managed to cling on to his hands. The jelly was a mess, but the maker only saw the perfect jelly he created earlier. He was able to restore the jelly, but this time it was a hundred times firmer.

Haha! Cute! It just passed through my head, and decided to write it down.
