Two Men were
traveling in company
through a forest, when,
all at once, a huge Bear
crashed out of the
brush near them.
One of the Men,
thinking of his own
safety, climbed a tree.
The other, unable to
fight the savage beast
alone, threw himself on
the ground and lay still,
as if he were dead. He
had heard that a Bear
will not touch a dead
body.
It must have been true,
for the Bear snuffed at
the Man's head awhile,
and then, seeming...

oFFICE BOy
A jobless man applied for the
position of ‘office boy’ at a
very big firm.
The Employer interviewed him,
then a test: clean the floor.
“You are hired” he said, give
me your email address, and
I’ll send you the application
to fill, as well as when you will
start. The man replied “I
don’t have a computer,
neither an email”.
I’m sorry, said the Employer,
if you don’t have an email
that means you do not exist.
And who doesn’t exist,

mOTHER'S SACRIFICe
After the Earthquake had
subsided, when the rescuers
reached the ruins of a young
woman’s house, they saw her
dead
body through the cracks.
But her pose was somehow
strange that she knelt on her
knees like a person was
worshiping; her body was
leaning forward and her two
hands were supporting an
object. The collapsed house had
crashed her back and her head.
With many difficulties, the
leader of the rescuer team put
his hand...

THE WOODEN BOWL
A frail old man went to live
with his son, daughter-in-law,
and a four-year grandson. The
old man's hands trembled, his
eyesight was blurred, and his
step faltered.
While the family ate
together at the table, the
elderly grandfather's shaky
hands and failing sight made
eating difficult. Rice rolled
off his spoon onto the floor.
When he grasped the glass,
milk spilled on the tablecloth.
The son and daughter-in-law
became irritated...

were lying around, and suddenly
the baby camel asked,
“mother, may I ask you some
questions? Mother said, “Sure!
Why son, is there something
bothering you? Baby said,

without water”. Baby said,
“Okay, then why are our legs
long and our feet rounded?”
Mother said, “Son,...

DETERMINATION

inspired by an idea to build a

was not practical. It had never
been done before.

a TOUCHING STORy
During the waning years of the
depression in a small Idaho
community, I used to stop by
Mr. Miller's roadside stand for
farm fresh produce as the
season made it available. Food
and money were still extremely
scarce and bartering was used
extensively.
One day Mr. Miller was bagging
some early potatoes for me. I
noticed a small boy, delicate of
bone and feature, ragged but
clean, hungrily appraising a
basket of freshly picked green
peas....

a fisherman so old and so poor
that he could scarcely manage
to support his wife and three
children. He went every day to
fish very early, and each day he
made a rule not to throw his
nets more than four times. He
started out one morning by
moonlight and came to the sea-
shore. He undressed and threw
his nets, and as he was drawing
them towards the bank he felt a
great weight. He though he had

abandoned eagle's nest and
in it was an egg still warm.
He took the egg back to his
farm and laid it in the nest
of one of his hens. The egg

grew up along with the
other chickens. It pecked
about the farmyard,
scrabbling for grain. It spent
its life within the yard and
rarely looked up. When it
was very old, one day it

above it a wonderful sight -
