Fido was a hungry dog who saw a bone on the other side of a fence. After failing to jump over or dig under the fence, Fido eventually found a way across by chance and ate the bone. The next day, when Fido saw another bone in the same spot, he took the same route that was successful before, rather than looking for a simpler path, because success had made him less creative.
