Give Me Back My Troubles!

A dozen discounted figures in a community once visited a wise man, clamorning to tell their problems.

"Write your biggest problem down on a piece of paper," said the wise man, "and six of you stand here to my right and six to my left. Now exchange papers and you will have new trouble to fret about."

The malcontents complies.  Within a minute, all were clamoring to have their own troubles back!
