The document contains two short stories: 1) An elderly man gets hearing aids that allow him to hear perfectly again. He hasn't told his family yet and enjoys listening to their private conversations, having changed his will three times as a result. 2) A man sees a farmer standing in an empty field and asks what he's doing. The farmer replies that he's trying to win a Nobel Prize, having heard they give it to people who are outstanding in their field.

Hearing Problems
An elderly gentleman had serious hearing
problems for a number of years. He went to the
doctor and the doctor was able to have him
fitted for a set of hearing aids that allowed the
gentleman to hear 100%.
The elderly gentleman went back in a month to
the doctor and the doctor said, "Your hearing is
perfect. Your family must be really pleased that
you can hear again."
The gentleman replied, "Oh, I haven't told my
family yet. I just sit around and listen to the
conversations. I've changed my will three times
Reflections
* Relationships are sometimes not sincere but
based on selfishness, a thinking of “What can I
get out of the other person”.
* How often have we spoken ill of another
person behind his back? There is hypocrisy in
some of the people with relate to.

Nobel Prize
A man is driving down a country road, when he
spots a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field
of grass. He pulls the car over to the side of the road
and notices that the farmer is just standing there,
doing nothing, looking at nothing.
The man gets out of the car, walks all the way out to
the farmer and asks him, "Ah excuse me mister, but
what are you doing?"
The farmer replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."
"How?" asks the man, puzzled.
"Well I heard they give the Nobel Prize to people
who are out standing in their field."
Reflections
* When one misunderstands sentences in a
language, one can do the most foolish or
ridiculous things.
* One needs to think clearly and seek
clarification before embarking on a mission.
