It
All Depends A lot of you Scouts have been working on the Communications merit badge, and I hope you've learned the importance of communicating clearly. (Show walkie-talkie.) With this little device I can throw my voice a half-mile, maybe more. But what good is it if I don't communicate clearly? Suppose I radioed you on this walkie-talkie and said, "Go, man! Trapped in cave. In trouble at Spencer's Mountain." Sounds like I'm trapped in a cave at Spencer's Mountain, right? But what if I used exactly the same words but said them like this: "Gol Man trapped in cave-in. Trouble at Spencer's Mountain." Quite a different story, isn't it? No doubt you'd rush to Spencer's Mountain if you heard it either way. But would you bring a flashlight and rope to fish me out of the cave? Or would you bring a shovel to dig the other guy out of the cave-in? As you can see, sometimes a breakdown in communication can be a matter of life and death. |
