Gregory Knox Jones tells the story of an unusual golf course in Calcutta, India. When the golfers started to play the monkeys would drop out of the trees, scurry across the course, and seize the golf balls tossing them here and there. The golfers tried to control the monkeys by building a fence and developing other strategies, but nothing seemed to work. Finally the golfers gave up and employed a rather novel ground rule: Play the ball where the monkey drops the ball. This rule could be frustrating when the monkeys might take a terrific drive down the center of the fairway and drop the ball in the rough. More satisfying would be the times when the monkeys might take their terrible slice and place the ball in the fairway.
The players soon learned that this particular golf course was like life itself. You get bad breaks and good breaks. You are not in control.
Moses received a "good break" when he was cast into the bulrushes.
