A Little Humor with a Good Moral…..!!!
THE PASTOR’S ASS
The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the Race again, and it won again.
The local paper read:
PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.
The next day, the local paper headline read:
BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR’S ASS
This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.
The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:
NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN
The bishop fainted.
He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.
The next day the paper read:
NUN SELLS HER ASS FOR $10
This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.
The next day the headlines read:
NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE
The bishop was buried the next day.
LESSON:
The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery, even shorten your life.
Moreover, the print media have a knack of sensationalizing their headlines, which are often twisted and misleading, to attract readers. One should not get carried away by that.
Do not worry about what others will think, they don’t do it very often anyway, that is, the so called thinking! The so called ‘others’ are equally worried about what ‘others’ will think!! What other people think of you is none of your business. You can’t please everybody. Don’t let criticism worry you.
An infallible sign of enlightenment:
One no longer cares what people think and say.
