Story Snippet

The Two Soldiers and the Robber. Two Soldiers, traveling together, were set upon by a Robber. The onefled away; the other stood his ground, and defended himself with hisstout right hand. The Robber being slain, the timid companion runs upand draws his sword, and then, throwing back his traveling cloak, says:"I'll at him, and I'll take care he shall learn whom he has attacked."On this, he who had fought with the Robber made answer: "I only wishthat you had helped me just now, even if it had been only with thosewords, for I should have been the more encouraged, believing them to betrue; but now put up your sword in its sheath and hold your equallyuseless tongue, till you can deceive others who do not know you. I,indeed, who have experienced with what speed you ran away, know rightwell that no dependence can be placed on your valor." When a coward is once found out, his pretensions of valor are useless.

Joke and Laugh

A blonde goes into work one morning crying her eyes out. Her boss, concerned about his employee's well being, asks sympathetically, "What's the matter?" The blonde replies, "Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my mother had passed away." "I'm terribly sorry to hear that. Why don't you go home for the day... we aren't terribly busy. Just take the day off to relax and rest." The blonde very calmly explains, "No, I'd be better off here. I need to keep my mind off it and I have the best chance of doing that here." The boss agrees and allows the blonde to work as usual. "If you need anything, just let me know," he says. A few hours pass and the boss decides to check on the blonde. He looks out over his office and sees the blonde crying hysterically. He rushes out to her, and asks, "Are you going to be okay? Is there anything I can do to help?" "No," re plies the blonde, "I just got a call from my sister, and she said that HER mom died too!"
