Guest guest Posted July 5, 2000 Report Share Posted July 5, 2000 namaste. Continuing on with the excerpts from "The prayer of the frog" by Anthony de Mello. Regards Gummuluru Murthy ------ Two stories on the self 1. An elderly gentleman ran a curio and antique shop in a large city. A tourist once stepped in and got to talking with the old man about the many things that were stacked in that shop. Said the tourist, "What would you say is the strangest, the most mysterious thing you have here?" The old man surveyed the hundreds of curios, antiques, stuffed animals, mounted fish and birds, archeological finds, deer heads ... then turned to the tourist and said, "The strangest thing in this shop is unquestionably myself." 2. A teacher was giving a lecture on modern inventions. "Can any of you mention something of importance that did not exist fifty years ago?" she asked. One bright lad in the front row raised his hand eagerly and said, "Me!" ----------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
