3. War of Words (story)

A king sent a message to the ruler of a neighboring country. The
message read: "Send me a blue diamond as large as a pigeon's egg or else..."

The second king on getting the message wrote back: "We don't have such a
diamond and if we had..."

The first king got very angry and declared war on his neighbor. The
fighting went on for several months till a third king arranged a meeting
between the two warring rulers. So they met and the first king said to
the other: "What did you mean when you said, 'Send me a blue diamond as
large as a pigeon's egg or else...'?"

"Why," he replied, "I meant a blue diamond as large as a pigeon's egg or
else... some other diamond. I love diamonds. But what did you mean when
you said, 'We don't have such a diamond and if we had-'?"

"It is easy to guess my meaning," said the other man. "What I wanted to
say was, if we had such a diamond we would have gladly sent it to you."

The Kings pledged to write more clearly in future communications and
embraced and made peace.

4. FIVE GREAT LESSONS--Lesson two

....Continued from previous issue.

__2. Second Important Lesson

Pickup in the Rain - One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American
woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure
the lashing rainstorm. Her car had broken down and she desperately
needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car.

A young white man stopped to help her, generally unheard of in those
conflict-filled 1960s.

The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a
taxicab. She seemed to be in a big hurry, but wrote down his address and
thanked him.

Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise,
a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was
attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway
the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes, but also my spirits.

Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying
husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping
me and unselfishly serving others."

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nat King Cole.
