The last Parachute

A pilot and his four passengers were on an airplane that was about to crash. The four passengers were Michael Jordan, Bill Clinton, a hippie, and old man. Unfortunately, there were only four parachutes on the plane. The pilot yelled, "I'm the pilot!" and jumped off with one of the parachutes. Michael Jordan said, "I'm the world's greatest athlete!" and jumped off with another parachute. Bill Clinton said, "I am the world's smartest man!" and jumped out of the plane. This left the hippie and the old man alone in the rapidly-descending airplane. "I'm old," said the old man, "so you can have the last parachute." "Nah, that's okay, man," the hippie said. "The world's smartest man just jumped out with my bag."

The Greedy Lion

Once a lion felt hungry. He came out of his den to look for some animal for his food. He saw a hare.It was playing happily under a tree. The lion walked towards the hare. The hare saw the lion and began to run in fear. So the lion also began to run after it. Soon the lion caught the hare.

Just as the lion raised his fore -foot to kill the hare, he sighted a deer. He thought that the small hare would not fill his belly. So he let the hare go off with long steps. The lion could not catchup with the deer. After a long chase, the lion was tired. He gave up the chase. He felt sorry for letting the hare off

Moral: A bird in hand is worth than two in the bush.

The Old Couple’s Mistake

Once there lived an old couple along with their daughter-in-law and their 5 year old grandson. Since the daughter-in-law was employed only the old couples were taking care of their grandson. One day there was a misunderstanding between the old couples and they started to quarrel in front of the grandson itself. The 5 year old boy was keenly observing all these things. Suddenly his grandmother took her suitcase and went to her sister’s home which was also nearby. Her mother-in-law’s sister’s residence is located near a police station.
That evening when their daughter-in-law came home and found that her mother-in-law was not there she took her 5 year old son and went to the bus stop and took a bus. While the conductor came she asked a ticket for police station. Suddenly the boy started crying. When his mom asked for the reason he said “You are going to lauch a complaint against my grand pa. only because of that you are going to the police station”. His mom really felt very ashamed because she mentioned “Police Station” only as a bus stop but the child has taken it in a wrong way.
So the elders must avoid quarreling in front of the kids as they will observe each and everything keenly.

Brilliant Strange Man

This is a real incident that happened few months ago to a known person of mine. My friend Ram and his brother Sankar went to a restaurant in a town. They chose a table of 4 which was empty. Thinking that no one should disturb them they sat in that table and started ordering the items. When they were in the second round of selection of items a third person neatly dressed came and sat in front of them. Since he came in the middle of their meals they dint consider him as a disturbance as they were about to finish their meals. The third person ordered 4-5 items and asked to parcel those items for him. When the server said that the items were ready he went straight to the cashier and spoke something with him and left the hotel with the parcels. Ram and his brother were not much bothered about him and were waiting for the bills. When the server brought the bills it was quiet shocking for both of them because the amount of very huge. When asked for clarity the server said that the third person had told to the cashier that he is a relative of Ram and also asked the cashier to include the parcel bill in their account. When Ram refused to accept the bill the server and the cashier threatened them that they will call the police if amount is not paid. So to avoid the embarrassing situation Ram paid the entire bill and left the restaurant.So people, we must be aware of what is happening around us very carefully.
