A story from the Central Asian nation of Kazakhstan, “The Whole Brain”.
It was the seventh day. God had finished making the world when he realized he had forgotten to give human beings their brains. So he filled a jug with brains, called an angel, and said, “Go and give human beings their brains!” The angel flew down to Earth and found so many people that there were not enough brains to go around.
So the angel gave each person a drop of brains. When God looked down on creation he saw war, jealousy, hunger, and tears. “Human beings have only got a bit of a brain each,” he said “I need someone with a whole brain to sort them out.” So God made one more person and filled that person’s brains right up to the top. He filled those brains with stories, songs, poems, and sparkling words. He sent the storyteller down to Earth, to tell and sing wisdom into foolish human hearts.
