A man was sent to jail just because of one single pebble.

Did he throw it?
Did it tell him to do something he shouldn't have done? (Although, I suppose that would've landed him in a psychiatric ward, rather than prison)

The pebble was in a jar with 99 other black pebbles and 99 white ones. One pebble was in the other jar. If a white pebble had been drawn, he would have married the Maharaja's daughter, but a black pebble was pulled, he ended up in prison.

The pebble was a diamond that he stole.

The pebble was in his shoe as he was running from the cops. The severe pain it caused slowed him and allowed him to be caught.

The man threw pebble in the sea and killed a whale. Or he gave it to a small child who swallowed it.

Or he was playing Monopoly. Or this particular pebble was the pebble for Guinness book of records. He threw it at Arnold Schwarzenegger. Or the pebble was soaked in nitroglycerin and then he threw it at Cyclops. Or he threw the pebble in the sea, even though this pebble was important to his poor wife, representing a family heirloom.

The pebble was bugged and it also had a small camera. So he was a policeman undercover who flushed it down the toilet, because he saw how rich mobsters are and how poor policemen are. Or he threw the pebble into the open grave at the funeral instead of earth, and to Chinese this is a deadly insult. Or the truck was hanging on the bridge after the accident, and he glued the pebble with superglue on it, causing the truck to fall in the river Rio Bravo. Or he put the pebble in his rear in front of people in church. Or he wanted to kill his wife, but he didn't have a big rock, just a small pebble. He gave it a shot, throwing the pebble seven times, but he didn't kill her, so she called 911. Or he put the pebble on a scale, which had a bomb. He spits on the pebble and puts his green bug on it. The pebble belonged to a small child, which was playing with it.

Milions of years ago a dinosaur stepped on the pebble. It rolled under his foot and he twisted his leg. He said "ouch". A female dinosaur heard that and turned around. It was love on first sight. Without the pebble, she would never have glanced at him. They wouldn't have had any offspring. It would have changed the whole History of the World. The man wouldn't end up in prison. Hey, the man wouldn't even exist. The prison wouldn't exist. Cities would have been build in other places. Maybe not even by humans.
Oops! he took the pebble.
How about: the dinosaur saw a nice pebble. He took it and offered it to a female dinosaur that passed by. It was love at first sight. etc.

Or maybe he saw the female dinosaur first, and picked up the pebble and threw it at her. She turned, and it was love at first sight, etc..
Or, the female dinosaur is hanging out with another male dinosaur. The hero dinosaur threw the pebble at the male dinosaur, killing him, and he got the female dinosaur, etc..

Do you know how to solve lateral thinking puzzles?
Ask me yes/no question, and I will answer. After that you can guess the answer.

Was it a very rare kind of pebble?
Did this pebble give a clue about his whereabouts?

To repair a broken window?

Was the peeble important to him due to some emotional value attached to it (e.g., it belonged to his loved granni)?
Was it emotionally valuable to someone else?

I saw Titanic yesterday. But stealing a diamond was proposed already.
Was he sent to jail in the sense that he was caught by the police for somethig illegal he did?

'Pebble' was the name of his parrot. He strangled it. Or it was his best friend's hypocorism, because he liked to throw pebbles into lakes and teacher's windows.
