WHAT’S FOR DINNER

WHAT’S FOR DINNER

A man feared his wife wasn’t hearing as well as she used to and he thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her, he called the family Doctor to discuss the problem. The Doctor told him there is a simple informal test the husband could perform to give the Doctor a better idea about her hearing loss.

Here’s what you do,” said the Doctor, “stand about 40 feet away from her, and in a normal conversational speaking tone see if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and s o on until you get a response.”

That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner, and he was in the den. He says to himself, “I’m about 40 feet away, let’s see what happens.” Then in a normal tone he asks, ‘Honey, what’s for dinner?” No response.

So the husband moves to closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Still no response.

Next he moves into the dining room where he is about 20 feet from his wife and asks, Honey, what’s for dinner?”

Again he gets no response so, He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. “Honey, what’s for dinner?” Again there is no response.

So he walks right up behind her. “Honey, what’s for dinner?”

“James, for the FIFTH time I’ve said, CHICKEN!”

What is the moral lesson of this story?

The problem may not be with the other one as we always think, could be very much within us..!

HUMPTY DUMPTY

HUMPTY DUMPTY

In a faraway land, there lived an egg called Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty liked to jump and skip. The people were worried that Humpty Dumpty might fall and break himself. They advised him to be careful. Humpty Dumpty did not care and continued to jump and skip as much as he liked.

One day, Humpty Dumpty climbed up and sat on a high brick wall. He sang and rocked his body to and fro. Suddenly, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The king’s men and their horses were nearby. They saw Humpty Dumpty fall. They quickly rushed to help. But they were too late. Humpty Dumpty’s shell was broken. His egg white and yolk were splattered all over the place. There was nothing that they could do to help Humpty Dumpty anymore.

Moral of the story :

You should listen to advice if it is for your own good.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Always learn to write your hurts in the sand where winds of peace and forgiveness can blow them away and to carve your many blessings in the stone where no wind can ever erase it.

May the peace of the Lord be with you always.
