Moral Story - To be sitting and doing nothing...

2010-03-12T17:59:00.001+05:30

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him,Can I also sit like you and do nothing?

The eagle answered,Sure , why not.

So the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Man calls home. Maid answers phone. He says, "Can I speak to my wife?She says, "No, she's upstairs in bed with her boyfriend." He tells his maid :"Ok, go to the hall closet and take out my shotgun. Go upstairs and kill them both." Being the loyal maid, she says, "Ok." 5 minutes later she picks up the phone and says, "Ok, they're both dead. What should I do with the bodies?" He says,"Throw them in the pool, and I'll take care of them when I get home."She says, "We don't have a pool." He then asks, "Is this 555-1234?"

LORD MACAULAY ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 2 FEBRUARY, 1835

LORD MACAULAY ADDRESS TO THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT, 2 FEBRUARY, 1835

"I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

“Are you God’s wife?”

2010-02-08T20:23:00.000+05:30

A person's witness account from New York City , on a cold day in December, some years ago:

A little boy, about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted,peering through the window, and shivering with cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said, “My, but you’re in such deep thought staring in that window!”

“I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes,”was the boy’s reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy.

She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel.

He quickly brought them to her.

She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy’s feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, “No doubt, you will be more comfortable now.”

As she turned to go, the astonished little boy caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her:

“Are you God’s wife?”
