tHE UN EMPLOYED GRADUATe

An unemployed graduate woke
up one morning and checked his
pocket. All he had left was $10.
He decided to use it to buy food
and then wait for death as he
was too proud to go begging..
He was frustrated as he could
find no job, and nobody was
ready to help him.
He
bought
food
and
as
he
sat
down
to
eat,
an
old
man
and
two little children came along
and asked him to help them
with food as they had not eaten
for almost a week. He looked at
them. They were so lean that he
could see their bones coming
out. Their eyes had gone into
the socket. With the last bit of
compassion he had, he gave
them the food. The old man and
children prayed that God would
bless and prosper him and then
gave him a very old coin. The
young graduate said to them
'you need the prayer more than
I do'.
With no money, no job, no food,
the young graduate went under
the bridge to rest and wait for
death. As he was about to sleep,
he saw an old newspaper on the
ground. He picked it up, and
suddenly he saw an
advertisement for people with
old coins to come to a certain
address.
He decided to go there with the
old coin the old man gave him.
On getting to the place, he gave
the proprietor the coin. The
proprietor screamed, brought
out a big book and showed the
young graduate a photograph.
This same old coin was worth 3
million dollars. The young
graduate was overjoyed as the
proprietor gave him a bank
draft for 3 million dollars within
an hour. He collected the Bank
Draft and went in search of the
old man and little children.
By the time he got to where he
left them eating, they had gone.
He asked the owner of the
canteen if he knew them. He
said no but they left a note for
you. He quickly opened the note
thinking it would lead him to
find them.
This is what the note said: 'You
gave us your all and we have
rewarded you back with the
coin,' signed The heavenly hosts
.

17:10-16; Matthew 11:28-30
