A daughter complained to her father about her life and everything was difficult. She doesn't know how to cope with life and wants to give up on herself. Her father is a cook. He took her into the kitchen. He put some carrots in the first pot, an egg in the second pot and ground coffee beans in the last pot. Without saying a word, he boiled these things in water.
