一 Who Deserves Help?
Many years ago,there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something for the people of his town.But first he wanted to find out whether they deserved his help.So he placed a very large stone in the center of the main road into town.Then he hid behind a tree and waited.Soon an old man came along with his cow.
"Who put this stone in the center of the road?" said the old man,but he did not try to remove the stone.Instead,with some difficulty he passed around the stone and continued on his way.Another man came along and did the same thing; then another came,and another.All of them complained about the stone in the center of the road,but not one of them tried to remove it.Late in the afternoon,a young man came along.He saw the stone and said,"The night will be very dark.Some neighbor will come along later in the dark and will fall against the stone."
The young man then began to move the stone.He pushed and pulled with all his strength to move it to one side.But imagine his surprise when under the stone he found a bag full of money and this message:"This money is for the thoughtful person who removes this stone from the road.That person deserves help."

The crow was sitting on the tree doing nothing all a day.A small rabbit saw the crow,and asked him:"Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" the crow answered:"sure ,why not?" So the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow,and rested.
All of a sudden.A fox appeared,jumped on the rabbit and ate it .

To be sitting and doing nothing ,you must be sitting very very high up!
三A Brother Like That
A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve
when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin was walking around the shiny new car,admiring it.
"Is this your car,Mister?" he said.
Paul nodded."My brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was astounded."You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing?Boy,I wish ..." He hesitated.
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that.But what the lad said jarred Paul all the way down to his heels.
"I wish," the boy went on,"That I could be a brother like that."
Paul looked at the boy in astonishment,then impulsively he added,"Would you like to take a ride in my car?"
"Oh yes,Id love that."
After a short ride,the boy turned with his eyes aglow,said,"Mister,would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the lad wanted.He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile.But Paul was wrong again."Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
He ran up the steps.Then in a little while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.He was carrying his little crippled brother.He sat him down on the bottom step,then sort of squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.
"There she is,Buddy,just like I told you upstairs.His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent.And some day Im gonna give you one just like it ...then you can see for yourself all the pretty things in the Christmas windows that Ive been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the lad to the front seat of his car.The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began a memorable holiday ride.
That Christmas Eve,Paul learned what Jesus meant when he said:"It is more blessed to give ..."
