Question
Once upon time there was a poor widow who had an only
son named Jack. They were so poor that they didnt have
anything except a cow. When the cow had grown too old, his
mother sent Jack to the market, Jack met a butcher who had
some beautiful beans were of great value and persuaded the
silly lad to sell the cow for the beans.
Jack brought them happily. When he told his mother
about this, his mother became so angry that she threw the
beans out of the widow.
When Jack woke up in the morning, he felt the sun
shining into a part of his room, but all the rest was quite dark
and shady.
So he jumped to the window. What did he see? The
beanstalk grew up quite close past Jacks window. He opened
the window and jumped to the beanstalk which ran up just
like a big ladder.
He climbed and climbed till at last he reached the sky.
While looking around, he saw a very huge castle. He was very
amazed.
Then Jack walked along the path leading to the castle.
There was a big tall woman on the doorstep. Jack greeted her
and asked for the giantess mercy to give him breakfast,
because he felt very hungry. Although the giantess grumbled
at first, finally she gave Jack a hunk of bread and cheese and a
jug of milk.
Jack hadnt finished when the whole house began to tremble
with the noise of someones coming. Oh! Its my husband!

Car Color and Road Safety
Many road accidents happen at night. A major reason this
is that certain colors are not easily observed in poor light
conditions. Thus, cars painted in those color are not easily
noticed by other drivers.
One solution would be needed to overcome poor visibility
due to car color and thus reduce traffic accidents related to it.
Yellow and white are two paint surfaces that reflect most
light. For this reason, yellow is used as a background for road
signs and other important signal. Moreover, yellow and white

are not generally problems for the color blind.

The problem with this solution is that people have a strong
preference with regard to color. They like their cars to have
some distinctiveness. It is an emotional issue. Although there
may be emotional resistance, this idea of painting all cars
yellow or white, this life-saving benefit must surely outweigh
the conditioned color fads of motorists
