In Dublin there is a large hole in the ground, left over from a construction project that was never finished.
Everyday, several people unexpectedly walk right into the hole and are badly injured.
By the time the ambulance arrives and takes the victims to the hospital, it is often too late to save them.
To solve this dangerous predicament, those with the highest positions in the Irish government called a meeting.
"What shall we do about this hole plaguing our people?" Asks the first speaker.
Everyone is hesitant to answer, but then Mick raises his hand.
"It is quite an easy solution" he exclaims.
"We keep an ambulance right next to the hole, so that when people fall in, they can be pulled out and brought to the hospital right away."
The council agreed, and decided to implement this new solution the following day.
However, with traffic, there is still not enough time to get the victims to the hospital.
So they hold another meeting.
"Having an ambulance ready is still not enough to save our people, we must do more."
Paddy man raised his hand and spoke.
"If getting to the hospital in time is the problem, then we must build a hospital next to the hole"
Everyone claps, seeing that they've found a solution.
But then the urban development chair speaks in response to this proposal.
"The land next to the hole is simply not big enough" he said, and the crowd stops clapping. "It seems we are back at step one."
In the back of the room Murphy stands, and said with much confidence,
"I have got it! We shall bring a truck full of dirt to the hole, and we will fill it up!"
The council is ecstatic, clapping for his brilliant idea.
Murphy continued "... And then we dig another hole right NEXT to the hospital".
