A Gujarati Boy
One day many years ago at a school in South London a
teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds, "I'll give $20 to the
child who can tell me who was the most respected man, whom people
consider God, who ever lived."
An Irish boy put his hand up and said, "
It was St. Patrick ." The teacher said, "Sorry Alan, that's not
correct."
Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and
said, " It was St. Andrew ." The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish,
that's not right either.
Finally, a Gujarati boy raised his hand
and said, " It was Jesus Christ ." The teacher said, "That's absolutely
right, Jayant, come up here and I'll give you the $20."
As the
teacher was giving Jayant his money, she said, "You know Jayant, since you
are
Gujarati, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ." Jayant
replied, "Yes, in my heart I knew it was Lord Krishna, but business is busin
ess!"
