Business is Business
(Sent in by Margaret Erceg, Aponga, Pipiwai R.D.; age 8.) In a certain school in Ireland, a teacher asked her class of small boys who was the greatest man in history, promising a shilling for the correct answer. One gave Alfred the Great, another Columbus, and so on. A small Jewish boy said, “St. Patrick, Miss.” “Quite correct,” said the teacher, as she gave him the shilling. “Now, tell mo, Joseph, why you, being a Jew, said St. Patrick?” “Oh, I know deep down in my heart it is Moses, but business is business.” —Copied.
