(1231)Thinking out of the box

In a lovely garden of varied plants, we find boxes of papers immersed in water. It took great self control on my part not to ask. Slowly, the story unfolded: a friend who had accumulated boxes of correspondence was planning to leave the country. She no longer worked therefore had no access to paper shredder. Daily she worried about those documents as we are all concern about digital identity and security.

Out came our heroine who produced a neat solution. She noticed that water removed ink and dissolved paper. Hence wet documents would disintegrate and all confidential information would be safe from any prying eyes. As the paper fell to fragments, pieces of plastic from official envelopes could be easily picked up from the mixture. Then our resourceful person dried them in batches in the tropical sun. These paper pulp was then added, some to line flower pots bottom, some to the trash. Voila! Problem solved! Talk about thinking out of the box!
