There's a story about a Sheikh who was walking with one of his murids, near a huge field. In the field there was a man who was digging holes. This man had dug two hundred holes two feet deep.
Observing this, the murid asked, "O my Sheikh, what is he doing?"
"I don't know. Let us ask him," the sheikh answered. They called him over, and asked what was the purpose of digging so many holes just two feet deep.
"I'm looking for water," the man said. The sheikh told him, "It's unlikely that you will find water by digging two hundred holes that are only two feet deep. You have a better chance of finding water if you dig one hole two hundred feet deep."
