Puzzle...

Once upon a time, there lived a little boy called Jack. He had a fascination with puzzles. He used to make his own puzzles. One day he made his masterpiece. It was a small but extremely coulourful little puzzle. Now all the colours were shocking in their contrast, and yet, they complimented each other perfectly.

Jack treasured his little puzzle. But one day one of the little pieces dissapeared. Now this piece wasn't one of the main pieces, it was a neutral colour that did nothing much for the puzzle as a whole. So as time went on, the puzzle began to look even better without the little missing piece.

But one day, while cleaning his room, Jack finds the missing little piece. The piece has been bent and has changed shape. So when Jack tried to fix the little piece back into the puzzle, it didn't fit. So now the question arises, what happenes to the formerly missing piece, now that it has returned and does not fit in the whole anymore?...

Does it go and find another puzzle, where it might fit in better? Or should it mould itself, change itself just so that it could fit in...? So the question really is, should it be who it really is, its new and improved self, a self with a lot more colour or should it go back to its former neutral shade and shape, just to fit in with the puzzle once more?...
