The Lawyer
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 of the men, "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 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 then along," the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor
man he stated, "You come with us, also."
The second man, in a pitiful voice 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 limousine. 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!"
