Do not Judge!

By
  
A young lady was waiting for her flight in the boarding room of a big airport. As she had to wait for  hours, she decided to buy a book to spend her time. Along with the book she bought a packet of cookies too. 

  She sat down on an armchair, in the VIP room of the airport, to rest and read in peace. Beside the armchair where  the packet of cookies were kept, a man sat down, opened his magazine and started reading.  When she ate the first cookie, the man also took one.  She felt infuriated but didn’t say anything. 

  She just thought:  “What a nerve! If I was in the mood I would punch his eye so that he does not forget this daring!” To each cookie she ate, the man ate another one.  That was making her fume up with rage but she couldn’t react.  When only one  cookie remained, she thought: “ah... What will this stupid man  do now?” To her anguish, the man divided the last cookie and gave her one half and ate the other half. She was too angry and upset! She felt like shouting at the top of her voice. 

  Here was a man who was eating her cookies without even asking her a word. She grabbed her book, took her things in anger and headed to the boarding place.When she sat down on her seat, inside the plane, she looked into her bag for her eyeglasses and to her surprise and shame, her packet of cookies was there, untouched,closed. She felt so  ashamed!! She had forgotten that her cookies were kept in her purse. The man had generously divided his cookies with her, without feeling infuriated, nervous or mad...while she was  very mad, thinking that he was dividing her cookies .  And there was no more time to explain herself... Nor to apologize!

Story of Man in a Hole

By
A man was walking along and fell into such a deep hole that he could not get out. So he began to shout very loud for help. A learned professor came along and found him. He looked down into the hole and began to scold him: "How could you be so careless as to fall down there? You should be more careful. If you ever get out again, watch your step." And with that he walked away.  Then a holy man came along. He looked down into the hole and told the man, "I'll reach down as far as I can and you reach up as far as you can. If I can grab your hand, I'll pull you out." But it did not work: the hole was too deep. So the holy man said he was sorry, and left the trapped man to his fate.  Then Christ came along. He saw the man's problem, and without asking him any questions, he jumped down into the hole. Then he let the man climb up onto his shoulders, and even onto his outstretched arms. And the man got out. Moral of the story - This is known as being persona...

The Two Goats

By
Over a river there was a very narrow bridge. One day a goat was crossing this bridge. Just at the middle of the bridge he met another goat. There was no room for them to pass.  "Go back," said one goat to the other, "there is no room for both of us". "Why should I go back?", said the other goat. "Why should not you go back?" " You must go back", said the first goat, "because I am stronger than you." "You are not stronger than I", said the second goat. "We will see about that", said the first goat, and he put down his horns to fight. "Stop!", said the second goat. " If we fight, we shall both fall into the river and be drowned. Instead I have a plan- I shall lie down, and you may walk over me." Then the wise goat lay down on the bridge, and the other goat walked lightly over him. So they passed each other, and went on their ways.

The Ass's shadow

By
A man hired an ass from another man. He paid him two shillings to lend him the ass for the day. It was a very hot day, and both men wanted to stand in the ass's shadow, so that they might be cool. But there was only room for one of them. "Go away," said the man who had hired the ass. "Go away! It is my shadow today. I have hired the ass."  " You hired the ass," said the owner," but you did not hire his shadow. It is my shadow." They went on, the hirer saying one thing and the owner saying the other. Then they began to fight, and while they were fighting one of them happened to hit the ass. Then the ass ran away. And it took its shadow with it !
