The Pope and The Poor Beggar.
email sent by Dennis Aloysius.
Two
beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome, Italy.
One has a Cross in front of him; the other one is holding the Star
of David.
Many people go by, look at both beggars, but only put money into
the hat of the beggar sitting behind the Cross.
The Pope comes by. He stops to watch the throngs of people giving
money to the beggar who holds the Cross while none give to the beggar holding
the Star of David.
Finally, the Pope approaches the beggar with the Star of David and
says: "My poor fellow, don't you
understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of
Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a
Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar
who is holding a Cross. In fact, they would probably give more money to
him just out of spite!"
The beggar with the Star of David listened to the Pope, smiled,
and turned to the beggar with the Cross and said: "Moishe, would
you look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing!"
