:::::: Old Story ::::::
Ever heard the story of the giant ship engine that failed? The ship's owners tried one expert after another, but none of them could figure but how to fix the engine.
Then they brought in an old man who had been fixing ships since he was a youngster.
He carried a large bag of tools with him, and when he arrived, he immediately went to work. He inspected the engine very carefully, top to bottom.
Two of the ship's owners were there, watching this man, hoping he would know what to do. After looking things over, the old man reached into his bag and pulled out a small hammer. He gently tapped something. Instantly, the engine lurched into life.
He carefully put his hammer away. The engine was fixed! A week later, the owners received a bill from the old man for ten thousand dollars.
"What?!" the owners exclaimed. "He hardly did anything!"
So they wrote the old man a note saying, "Please send us an itemized bill."
The man sent a bill that read:
Tapping with a hammer $ 2.00
Knowing where to $ 9998.00

:::::: Puppies for
A store owner was tacking a sign
above his door that read "Puppies for
The store owner replied, "Anywhere
from $30 to $50."
The little boy reached in his pocket and pulled out some change. "I have $2.37," he said.
"Can I please look at
them?"
The store owner smiled and
whistled and out of the kennel came Lady, who ran down the aisle of his store
followed by five teeny, tiny balls of fur.
One puppy was lagging
considerably behind. Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging,
limping puppy and said, "What's wrong with that little dog?"
The store owner explained that
the veterinarian had examined the little puppy and had discovered it didn't
have a hip socket. It would always limp. It would always be lame.
The little boy became excited.
"That is the puppy that I want to buy."
The store owner said, "No,
you don't want to buy that little dog. If you really want him, I'll just give
him to you."
The little boy got quite upset.
He looked straight into the store owner's eyes, pointing his finger, and said,
"I don't want you to give him to me. That little dog is worth every bit as
much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price. In fact, I'll give you
$2.37 now, and 50 cents a month until I have him paid for."
The store owner countered,
"You really don't want to buy this little dog. He is never going to be
able to run and jump and play with you like the other puppies."
To his surprise, the little boy
reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted, crippled
left leg supported by a big metal brace. He looked up at the store owner and
softly replied, "Well, I don't run so well myself, and the little puppy
will need someone who understands!"

A truly
enjoyable story, very apt reading on
It's a
fine sunny day in the forest, and a lion is sitting outside
his cave, lying
lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.
Fox:
"Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"
Lion:
"Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"
Fox:
"Hmm. But it's a very complicated mechanism,
and your
great claws will only destroy it even
more"
Lion:
"Oh no, give it to
me, and it will be fixed"
Fox:
"That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great Claws
cannot fix
complicated watches"
Lion:
"Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"
The
lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back with the watch which is
running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the lion
continues to lie
lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself.
Soon a
wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.
Wolf:
"Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"
Lion:
"Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you"
Wolf:
"You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you?
There is no way that a lazy lion
with big claws can fix a complicated TV"
Lion:
"No problem. Do you want to try it?"
The
lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a perfectly fixed
TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.
Scene:
Inside the lion's cave. In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent
looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated
work with very
detailed
instruments. In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.

I will EAT all this dung!" exclaimed the eager salesman
