Bidding Higher
One day a man went to an auction. While there, he bid
on a parrot. He really wanted this bird, so he got
caught up in the bidding. He kept on bidding, but kept
getting outbid, so he bid higher and higher and higher.
Finally, after he had bidded way more than he
intended, he won the bid - the parrot was his at last!
As he was paying for the parrot, he said to the
Auctioneer, "I sure hope this parrot can talk. I would
hate to have paid this much for it, only to find out that
he can't talk!"
"Don't worry." said the Auctioneer, "He can talk. Who
do you think kept bidding against you?"
Reflection
Be very careful! Just when you think you have won or
succeeded, you realize that you have been conned or played
out.

Don't Forget The Mirror
A mother was taking a shower when her 2-year old
son came into the bathroom and wrapped himself in
toilet paper. Although he made a mess, he looked
adorable, so she ran for a camera and took a few
shots. They came out so well that she had copies
made and included one with each of their Christmas
cards.
Days later, a relative called about the picture,
laughing hysterically, and suggesting that she take a
closer look. Puzzled, the mother stared at the photo
and was shocked to discover that in addition to her
son, she had captured her reflection in the mirror
wearing nothing but a camera!
Reflection
When one’s mind is excited or rattled, one can
lose mindfulness and this can lead to one doing
the most foolish or embarrassing thing.
