The Young Punk
A young punk was in a train sitting on a seat directly
facing an old man. The young punk had spiked,
multi-coloured, green, purple, and orange hair. His
clothing was a tattered mix of leather rags. His legs
were tattooed and he wore only one pair of shoes. His
face was pierced with jewelry and his earrings were
red, yellow and green feathers.
The old man stared at the young punk for a long time
as the train traveled across the city.
Finally, the punk looked across at the old man and
yelled at him with abuses and vulgar words,
“What are you looking at, you-good-for nothing old
man? Didn’t you do anything wild and immoral when
you were young?”
Without hesitation, the old man replied, “Sure I did.
When I was young and in the Navy, once I got really
drunk and had sex with a parrot. I was wondering if
you might be my son.”
Reflection
Many a youngster today lacks civic and moral education. Many
have not learnt courtesy, politeness and manners. Some go astray
in behavior and conduct. It is indeed a challenge to educate the
young in 'life lessons' .

The Child and the Wave
A young boy and his doting grandmother were
walking along the sea shore when a huge wave
appeared out of nowhere, sweeping the child out to
sea. The horrified grandmother got down on her
knees, raised her eyes to the heavens and begged
God to return her beloved grandson. And, lo,
another wave reared up and deposited the stunned
child on the sand before the grandmother.
The grandmother looked the boy over carefully. He
appeared to be fine. But still the grandmother stared
up angrily towards the heavens. “When we came,”
she snapped indignantly, “my grandson had a hat!”
Reflection
When will we learn to be grateful for what we get. How
often have we complained and complained and expected
more and more. Ponder and count our Blessings.
