A tale.

Chip McFlennigan

One day, a woman was walking home from a nearby village where she had gone to get a couple loaves of bread. On the walk back to her village, she spotted a stone in some brush. She recognized immediately that this particular stone would be worth a fortune and, she'd never have to worry again, as she could live a life of luxury thanks to this rare gem.

A little bit later, she came upon a homeless man, and he said "could you spare me a piece of bread?" With no hesitation, the woman broke a piece of bread from one of the loaves, and gave it to this man.

Looking at the woman's bag, he caught a glimpse of the stone, and looked up at the woman. "May I . . . have that stone you've got there?" Without hesitation, the woman handed the man the stone.

"Good day," they exchanged.

A couple days later, the woman was leaving her village, when the homeless man was waiting for her.

"I need one more thing from you," said the man.

"What's that?" she replied.

"I need what you have inside. What it took for you to give a fortune up to a stranger, with no second thoughts. I need that to be truly wealthy."

Very Deep J.A. I think a bit of science fiction in this day and age unfortunately so.

However, my question is...She bought two loaves of bread. She found a rare gem that "...would be worth a fortune and, she'd never have to worry again..." They guy asks her for some bread and she breaks off a piece. A PIECE!!! CHRIST ALMIGHTY!!! JUST GIVE HIM THE WHOLE LOAF OR BOTH FOR THAT MATTER! JEEZ!!!!!!!

just kidding....

its a great story...should teach us a lot. That we truly, at some points in our lives, want for nothing.
nice job and post JA.

How nice, reminds me of my next door neighbour. He'd give you the shirt off his back if it was the last thing he owned. Top bloke, but some people take advantage of him.

Interesting! Reminds me of this Australian guy I always take advantage of. I've gotten so many free shirts off this fool . . . .

Go ahead and try, pal. J. America never backs down from a challenge, unless that challenge is "who is better at backing down from challenges?"!
