  The Old Wise Man !
He knew of course, the wise old man would know the object in his hands was a bird.
Knowing the wise old man would correctly state the object in his hands was a bird, the boy would ask the old man if the bird was dead or alive.
If the wise man said the bird was alive, the boy would crush the bird in his hands, so that when he opened his hands the bird would be dead; if the wise man said the bird was dead, the boy would open his hands and let the bird fly free.

 Wise Old Man under the Banyan Tree by Dr. Vidur Jyoti (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.isi.jhu.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The wizened old guy serving biscuits and tea sitting on a creaking wooden plank had been the sole occupant of that spot under a banyan tree that grew by the side of the remnants of a crumbling wall.
Antecedents of either the old man or the ancient wall were an enigma to me and I am sure to almost all those who stopped there now and then.
And how about the old man? Breeze and her song, new opening buds and leaves, nests of the birds and chirping birdlings will all definitely tell you about the old guy but not like the image you might have stored in your memory.

 parable   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
High in the Himalayan mountains lived a wise old man. Periodically, he ventured down into the local village to entertain the villagers with his special knowledge and talents.  One of his skills was to "psychically"  tell the villagers the contents in their pockets, boxes, or minds.
The following week, the wise old man came down from the mountain into the village.  The boy quickly caught a bird and cupping it out of sight in his hands, walked up to the wise old man and asked, " Old man, old man, what is it that I have in my hands?"
The wise old man said, "You have a bird." and he was right.

As the drawing progressed, a wise old man began peering out of the drawing.
This sketch was done with a plain old ballpoint pen, which I love to draw with because with the right touch, you can shade very similarly to pencil.
Most of the time ink is my preferred medium for sketching, as it forces one to 'let go' of the drawing and let it truly be a sketch.

Riding on a mouse, one of nature’s smallest creatures and having the head of an elephant, the biggest of all animals, denotes that Ganesha is the creator of all creatures.
It also denotes the process of evolution—the mouse gradually evolves into an elephant and finally becomes a man. This is why Ganesha has a human body, an elephant’s head and a mouse as His vehicle.
This is not ideal, but it is far better than having her out, away from her husband, under another man's mind.

 Wise old man - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is also a classic literary figure, and may be seen as a stock character.
The wise old man is often seen to be in some way "foreign", that is, from a different culture, nation, or occasionally, even a different time, than those he advises.
In extreme cases, he may be a liminal being, such as Merlin, who was only half human.
