WISDOM

Once there was a Sufi mystic named, Nasrudin.

One day he went into a bank to cash a check.  The teller looked at the check and then him.  He sed:  The check looks good but...you.  Can you identify yourself?  Nasrudin pulled out a mirror and looked at himself.  Yep...!!

that's me.

One night he was on his hands and knees looking for

something on the ground.  A stranger stopped and asked him what he was doing.

Lost my keys.  The stranger offered to help.  After awhile when no keys were located the stranger asked, ...where did you loose them?  Over there by the door.  Why are you looking here?  The lights better.

One day two monks set out on a journey.  A young one and

an old one.  When they came to a river there was an old lady there.  She asked if one of them could carry her across.  The older monk said yes and carried her over.

As they were walking down the road the young monk asked the old one why he had done that when he didn't have to.  The older monk replied, I left her at the river.  Your still carrying her.

The Lesson of one;  Once there was a young boy who on the first day of first grade the first lesson was the number one.  All most everyone got it right away, except him.  He struggled.  When he went home and told his parents they were so embarrassed that they sent him away.  One year later he returned and told his parents he thought he had it now.  He went to the wall and drew the letter one.  The wall cracked in too.
