The Widow at the Farmhouse
Jack decided to go skiing with his buddy, Bob. They loaded up
Jack's station-wagon and headed north. After driving for a few
hours, they got caught in a terrible blizzard. They pulled into a
nearby farmhouse and asked the attractive lady of the house if
they could spend the night.
"I'm recently widowed," she explained, "and I'm afraid the
neighbors will talk if I let you stay in my house."
"Not to worry," Jack said, "we'll be happy to sleep in the barn."
Nine months later, Jack got a letter from the widow's attorney.
He called up his friend Bob and said, "Bob, do you remember
that good-looking widow at the farm we stayed at?"
"Yes, I do."
"Did you happen to get up in the middle of the night, go up to
the house and visit with her?"
"Yes, I have to admit that I did."
"Did you happen to use my name instead of telling her your
name?"
Bob's face turns red and he said, "Yeah, I'm afraid I did."
Reflections just died and left me everything!"
"Well, thanks! She
* How often have we used deceit to protect
ourselves…we care little about the trouble
we might put others into.
* Life is full of surprises. It does not pay to
resort to dishonest and unwholesome ways.
One will regret one’s deceitful ways.

Two Bear Hunters
Two men went bear hunting. While one stayed in the
cabin, the other went out looking for a bear. He soon
found a huge bear, shot at it but only wounded it.
The enraged bear charged toward him, he dropped
his rifle and started running for the cabin as fast as
he could.
He ran pretty fast but the bear was just a little faster
and gained on him with every step. Just as he
reached the open cabin door, he tripped and fell flat.
Too close behind to stop, the bear tripped over him
and went rolling into the cabin.
The man jumped up, closed the cabin door and
yelled to his friend inside, "You skin this one while I
go and get another one!"
Reflections
* Beware! Even a good friend can betray you. Many
people have only their self-interest at heart.
* Is hunting a good past time? What if you were the
hunted? Have compassion for all living beings.
