Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

There's a story about a Sufi master who was walking with one of his pupils, near a huge field. In the field there was a man who was digging holes. This man had dug two hundred holes two feet deep. Observing this the pupil, the pupil asked, "O my master, what is he doing?"."I don't know. Let us ask him," the Sufi answered. They called him over, and asked what was the purpose of digging so many holes just two feet deep. "I'm looking for water," the man said. The Sufi master told him, "It's unlikely that you will find water by digging two hundred holes that are only two feet deep. You have a better chance of finding water if you dig one hole two hundred feet deep.
