Pope
and The Poor Beggar
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!"
