A Gujarati Boy
One day many years ago at a school in
South London a teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds,
"I"ll give $20 to the child who
can tell me who was the most respected man, whom people consider God, who ever
lived."
An Irish boy put his hand up
and said, "It was St.
Patrick."
The teacher said, "Sorry Alan,
that"s not correct."
Then a Scottish boy put his
hand up and said, "It was
St. Andrew."
The teacher replied, "I"m sorry,
Hamish, that"s not right either.
Finally, a Gujarati boy
raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ."
The teacher said, "That"s
absolutely right, Jitu, come up here and I"ll give you the $20."
As the teacher was giving
Jitu his money,
she said, "You know Jitu,
since you are Gujarati, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."
Jitu replied, "Yes, in
my heart I knew it was Lord Krishna, but business is
business!"
