The beggars
Two beggars are sitting on a park bench in Mexico City. One is holding
a cross and one a Star of David. Both are holding hats to collect
contributions.
People walk by, lift their noses at the man with the Star of David and
drop money in the hat held by the man with the cross.
Soon the hat of the man with the cross is overflowing with coins and
notes and the hat of the man with the Star of David is empty.
A priest watches and then approaches the men. He turns to the man with
the Star of David and says: "Young man. Don't you realize that this is
a Catholic country? You'll never get any contributions in this country
holding a Star of David."
The man with the Star of David turns to the man with the cross and
says: "Moishe, can you imagine, this guy is trying to tell us how to
run our business."
