How poor we are !

LESSONS FROM THE POOR:

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country, with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.On their return from their trip, the father asked his son:

'How was the trip?'

'It was great, Dad.'

'Did you see how poor people live?' the father asked.

'Oh yeah,' said the son.

'So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?' asked the father.

His son answered:

'I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve others. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.'

The boy's father was left speechless.

Then his son added: 'Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are.'

Is that you axe ?

One day, a poor woodcutter was cutting a branch of a tree above a river when his axe fell into the river. When he began crying, God appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

The woodcutter told him that he had dropped his axe into water.

God went down into the water and reappeared with a golden axe.

"Is this your axe?", God asked. The woodcutter said "No".

God again went down and came ...up with a silver axe.

"Is this your axe?" God asked.

The woodcutter said "No".

God went down again and came up with an iron axe. "Is this your axe?", God asked.

The woodcutter said, "Yes".

God was so pleased with the man's honesty that he gave him all the three axes. The woodcutter went home happy.

Many months later, while the woodcutter was walking with his wife along the river, she fell into the river. When he began crying, God appeared and asked him, "Why are you crying?"

"My wife has fallen into the water and I can’t swim."

God went down into the water and came up with Jennifer Lopez. "Is this your wife?", God asked.

"Yes", he said.

God was furious, "YOOOOOU CHEEEEAT!! Now I am going to punish you."

The woodcutter quickly said, "Please forgive me, My Lord. It is a misunderstanding. If I said "No" to Jennifer Lopez, you would have come up with Joan Collins. If I also said "No" to her, you would have finally come up with my wife and I would say "Yes". Then you would give all the three women to me. I am a poor man. I would not be able to look after all three of them, so that's why I had to say "Yes"..."

Only in the line

The end of the world has come. God looks over the millions and millions of people and says to them, "Welcome to Heaven. I want the women to go with St. Peter. Go now and follow him. And you men, I want you to form two lines. The first line, to the left of me, is for men who dominated their women on earth. The second line, to the right of me, is for men who were dominated by their women." OK, now line up.

There was then much movement for some length of time, but eventually the women are gone and there are two lines of men. The line of the men that were dominated by their women is 150 miles long. The line of men that dominated women has only one man.

He turns to the man and asks, "How did you manage to be the only one on that line?"
The man says, "I don't know, my wife told me to stand here."
