A blonde and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from LA to NY.
The lawyer asks if she would like to play a fun game.
The blonde, tired, just wants to take a nap, politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a
few winks.
The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy and a lot of fun.
He explains, "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me $5.00, and vise
versa."
Again, she declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't
know the answer you pay me $5.00, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500.00."
This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring there will be no end to this torment unless she
plays, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to
the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches into her purse, pulls out a $5.00 bill and hands it
to the lawyer. "Okay" says the lawyer, "your turn."
She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four legs?" The
lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references, no answer. He taps
into the air phone with his modem and searches the net and the library of congress, no answer.
Frustrated, he sends e-mails to all his friends and coworkers, to no avail. After an hour, he wakes the
blonde, and hands her $500.00.
The blonde says, "Thank you", and turns back to get some more sleep.
The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, what's the answer?"
Without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5.00, and goes back to sleep.

A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of
his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would
miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house
as a personal favor. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this will be his last
project. Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this
house. His heart was not in his work. He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials.

employer handed over some papers and the front door key to the carpenter and said "This is your

The Unfortunate Lebai[1] (Mosque Servant)
(Malay, Riau)
A Malay proverb says, "Any person who suffers a loss or falls to achieve his deal, not because of
another person's conduct but merely because of his own negligence is called Lebai Malang (the
unfortunate Mosque Servant). He only looks disappointedly at another person's good fortune.
"That's why he called Lebai Malang by the Malay people. Here is the story of one incident in the life
of Lebai Malang, the unfortunate person.
There lived a Lebai Malang between two big villages inhabited by many people near a river. So, one
day, the two big villages were having ritual meals and inviting great and wealthy people including all
the poor people so that the people of the two villages were all happy. When the people were
gathering around for the ritual meal, Lebai Malang was coming too. He was invited by the two
villages. In his way to the feast, he was tempted by greed, and said to himself, "I have been invited
by people. The village upstream is closer, but they slaughter only one buffalo. Those of the village
downstream slaughter two buffaloes. If I ask for the downstream village, I will get two horns and if I
ask for the upstream village, I will get one horns, but the cooking is delicious, while the downstream
village offers less delicious cooking. I know since I am used to eating in both places."
Thinking that way, he went down the river rowing in a sampan. When he has rowed a certain
distance downstream he remembered he would get two horns, upstream he would get one but with
delicious cookings. And he returned upstream. Rowing upstream for a certain distance, he
remembered the downstream village with the delicious meals. He did so twice or three times, and
then he rowed upstream. In arriving, the Imam (leader) of the ritual meals was already reciting the
prayer. So, his share upstream was gone. Then he rowed seriously downstream. On arriving at the
downstream village, the Imam was also already reciting the prayer. He, again lost his share.
So, he said to himself, "I had better get my fishing line to catch fish for sale or side dish. And will take
hunting dog. If I cannot catch any fish I can hunt mouse deer."
Thinking so, he rowed back to fetch the fishing line and some cold rice. So, he wrapped himself some
cold rice in a leaf sheath of areca palm with sauce of chili and shrimp paste condiment in a bamboo
cylinder. And he put the dog in the back.
Upon reaching the fishing spot he did his fishing. He threw his line with a snail at the bait. When the
fishing line was in the water, he felt hungry, and opened the puck of rice. While taking the chili
sauce, he knocked the flask against the edge of the sampan. Suddenly, the chili was thrown out into
the water. Lebai then dipped his hand into the water to get it and when he bowed his head and his
hand was in the water, his dog jumped at the rice and ate it.
And so he lost all his wishes. Therefore, he has been called Lebai Malang up to now. His experience
has been made into a Malay proverb. Anyone who behaves the way will be called Lebai Malang.

The Old Man and the Pears
Once upon a time there lived a farmer who grew beautiful, big pears. He made a good living selling
his pears in the market. Over the years, his pears grew juicier and sweeter, and he asked more and
more money for them. Now and then a neighbour or a relative in need would come to him and ask
for help. The farmer's business was blossoming. He had built a large farmhouse. He and his wife had
no children of their own, but they had every luxury they could ever need. "Please," one of his poor
friends or neighbours would say, "I could use a little money to tide me through this rough time.
Perhaps you can help."
"I work hard to earn my living," the farmer would answer. "No sense in giving what I earn away, is
there?" The neighbor or friend would sadly shake his head. "No sense, I suppose." "No sense at all,"
said the farmer. "If you work hard, you may get lucky, too," and then he would clap his friend or
neighbour on the back and laugh his hearty laugh and raise the price of his pears a penny more.
"Everyone loves them. I can sell them for a little more."
Now one day while he was busy selling in the marketplace, a Taoist priest came along. The priest
wore worn and ragged clothes and his face had a weathered look. He was obviously a poor man.
"Pardon me," the priest said, "I wonder if you might give me a pear to eat. I haven't eaten in many
days. Your pears look so delicious." "Shoo," said the farmer. "Go away. I do not give things away."
"But just one cannot hurt," said the priest. "You have dozens of pears in your cart." "Go away now or
I shall call the authorities to take you away," snapped the farmer. "But please, " the priest asked
once more, and now the farmer lost his temper and screamed at the man. "Get lost! Don't you
understand what I'm saying? I'm saying no. Begone with you."
But the priest persisted, and the farmer grew angrier and his voice grew louder. Before long the two
men had attracted a crowd. "What's going on?" someone asked. "The greedy farmer will not give a
pear to the poor priest, " someone else answered, and soon everyone was arguing and taking sides,
and the farmer and the priest were surrounded.
When the market policeman saw what was happening, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a
few coins. These he handed to the farmer. "Let me buy the man a pear," he said. The farmer said,
"Of course." He handed a big juicy pear to the police officer. "You can give it to him," and so the
policeman did.
"Thank you so much," said the priest, bowing. Then he turned to face the crowd who surrounded
him. "Who would like to eat this beautiful pear?" he cried. "I'm giving it away to anyone who wishes
to eat a pear. "Now the crowd was perplexed. "Why don't you eat the pear yourself, old man? You
are starving, aren't you? Why would you give away the pear?"
"I need only one seed," he said. "I plan to plant the seed and grow my own pear tree."
Everyone laughed, with the farmer laughing hardest of all. "What a fool," he said. "He'll grow a pear
tree, ha!"
While everyone laughed, the priest knelt and with his fingers dug a small hole in the ground. Into
this he popped one pear seed, and then he covered the seed with dirt. "Can anyone give me water?"
called the priest. A nearby peddler offered him a pitcher of water, and everyone watched in
amazement as he poured the water over the planted seed.
"Is he mad?" people whispered. "What can he be thinking?"
"Now watch," said the priest. "Watch that spot." Everyone stared at the spot, including the farmer,
and sure enough, soon they saw a stem, and this grew taller and pears began to appear -- in fact,
masses of pears appeared. They were thick and ripe, just like the farmer's, and the priest began to
pluck them one by one. He handed them out to the crowd.
Before long he had given away all the pears that grew on his magical stalk. Then the priest took an
axe from beneath his robes and chopped down the stalk. He put it atop his shoulder and walked
away.
The farmer watched all this in puzzlement, but once the priest was gone, he wiped his brow and
returned to his cart. All his pears were gone. And then he saw that the handlebars on his cart were
gone too, and he realized that the priest had tricked him. He had stolen the farmer's cart handle,
and it was this that appeared to be a magical stalk, and all the pears were the farmer's own pears.
He turned quickly to chase the priest, but the man had disappeared, and everyone in the market
began to laugh.
