One afternoon a wealthy lawyer
was riding in his limousine when he saw two
men along the roadside eating grass. Disturbed,
he ordered his driver to stop and he got out
to investigate.
He asked one man "Why
are you eating grass?" "We don't
have any money for food," the poor man
replied. "We have to eat grass."
"Well, then, you can
come with me to my house and I'll feed you"
the lawyer said. But sir, I have a wife and
two children with me. They are over there,
under that tree." "Bring them along,"
the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor
man he stated, "You come with us also."
The second man, in a pitiful
voice then said, "But sir, I also have
a wife and SIX children with me!" "Bring
them all, as well," the lawyer answered.
They all entered the car,
which was no easy task, even for a car as
large as the limousine was. Once underway,
one of the poor fellows turned to the lawyer
and said, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank
you for taking all of us with you." The
lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll
really love my place - the grass is almost
a foot high!"
