A man who spent his whole life on a desert island visited a friend
in civilization. He’d never seen a train or railroad tracks.
While standing on the the railroad tracks, he heard a whistle, but
didn’t know what it was soon enough to avoid getting hit. His friend
found him on the side of the tracks with minor internal injuries and
broken bones.
After weeks in the hospital recovering, he visits his friend who is
having a party. While in the kitchen, he suddenly hears the tea-
kettle whistling. He grabs a baseball bat from a nearby closet and
batters the teakettle into an unrecognizable lump of metal.
Upon hearing the ruckus, his friend rushed into the kitchen and
asked the desert island man, “Why’d you ruin my good tea kettle?
“You need to kill these things while they’re still small!” he said.
