Begging

[maggiebee]

Two beggars were sitting side by side on a street in Rome, Italy. One had a Cross in front of him; the other held the Star of David. Many people went by, looked at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting
behind the Cross.

The Pope came by. He stopped to watch the throngs of people giving money to the beggar who held the Cross while none gave to the beggar holding the Star of David.

Finally, the Pope approached the beggar with the Star of David and
said, "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country:
this city is the Seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money
if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who is holding a Cross. In fact, they would
probably give more money to him just out of spite."

The beggar with the Star of David listened to the Pope, smiled, turned to
the beggar with the Cross and said, "Moishe, look who's trying to teach the
Goldstein brothers about marketing!"
