One afternoon, a 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."
