One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw
two men along the road-side 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”
