One afternoon a lawyer was riding along in his big 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 eating grass under that
tree." "Bring them along," the lawyer replied.
Turning to the second poor man he stated, "You may come with us, also." The
other 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. Once under way, 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."
