The Pay Roll ClerkA pay roll clerk was alone in the office when two maskedrobbers entered.“This is a stick-up,” one of robbers said, pointing a gun atthe clerk. “You make a move and you are dead! Just handover all the money and you won’t get hurt.”Fearing for her life, the clerk obeyed, and the robbers scooped up all the money and put the notes in their pockets.As the robbers made for the door, the clerk shouted, “Just a minute! Please take the payroll books too! The auditors are coming tomorrow!”

ReflectionIncompetent or very dishonest workers can sometimes resort to unbelievable and unethical ways to cover up their cheating ways or the mistakes they commit. But beware ... there is a price to pay eventually when such unbecoming actions are discovered.

At The Grave …

After placing some flowers on the grave of his mother who had recently passed away, a man noticed another man kneeling at a grave a distance away. The man seemed to be praying with profound intensity.The first man approached this man and heard him wailing at the tombstone, “Why did you have to die? Why did you have to die?”The first man was rather puzzled and said to him, “Sir, I don’t mean to interfere with your private grief. For whom do you mourn so deeply … A child, a parent or an intimate friend?”“The mourner replied after a moment, “My wife’s first husband.”

Reflection

* The circumstances under which a person suffers can be most unexpected.

* It takes much patience, understanding and wisdom to cope with the ‘suffering’ and ‘problems’ of life.
