When Abraham Liebowitz gets to school, he discovered that

he is the only Jewish kid in the class. But it's a decent

town and nobody really bothered him.

 

One day the teacher asked the class, " Who was the greatest

person who ever lived? and why? " To make it interesting

she held a twenty dollar bill in the air and said,

" Whoever gives the best answer will get this 20 dollars. "

 

All of the kids called out their guesses.

 

One said, " George Washington, because he was the father

of our country. "

 

" That's excellent, " said the teacher.

 

Another said, " Abraham Lincoln, because he freed the slaves. "

 

" That's also good, " said the teacher, reluctant to

bestow the reply of 'excellent,' but still being polite.

 

One little girl said, " Joan of Arc, because she saved France. "

 

" Another excellent choice, " said the teacher.

 

Then Abraham Liebowitz raised his hand.

So the teacher called on him. " Abraham, who do you think

was the greatest person who ever lived, and why? "

 

And Abraham said, " Jesus Christ. "

 

The teacher was shocked. " Abraham, " she said " I'm very

surprised. Class, I think we can all agree that Abraham

should get the twenty dollars. " And she handed Abraham

Liebowitz the money.

 

At recess, the teacher was still very impressed. So she

asked Abraham why he said Jesus...

Abraham said, " Look, personally I think Moses was the

greatest person who ever lived, but business is business! "
