In the famous story “The Prisoner and the Bread,” a prisoner finds himself alone in a room. In front of him are two choices he must make – a loaf of bread or a key for his escape.
It was hard for him to decide because he didn’t understand how to use the key or why it was there at all. He thought carefully about his options before choosing the loaf of bread.
One should think carefully about which choice is best when faced with two options.
These decisions become more important for prisoners since they could affect their survival.
Getting away from captivity may be what every prisoner wants most but their urgent need for food might be more important than their long-term goal of freedom; this could explain why they choose bread over keys. Bread acts as both nourishment and currency; it can be used to bribe guards and help with some problems related to planning an escape. Weighing risks and benefits shows that choosing bread seems smarter overall.
While deciding between bread and keys ultimately depends on personal situations and goals desired results whatever choice made it’s always good to know one’s own limits & use available resources wisely!
