Two beggars are sitting side by side on a
street in Rome. One has a cross in
front of him. The other one - the Star of David.
Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat
of the beggar sitting behind the cross. A priest comes by, stops and watches
throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give
to the beggar behind the Star of David.
Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and
says: "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country.
People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David
in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who has a
cross. In fact, they would proba! bly give to him just out of spite."
The beggar behind the 'Star of David' listened to the priest, turned to the
other beggar with the cross and said: "Moishe, look who's trying to teach
the Goldstein brothers about marketing." |
