The Parable of the Greedy Man & the Envious Man
So let's crack things up!
Yesterday was you know DRY JOKE WEDNESDAY & my bad :( I didn't have nothing to present so lemme make it up by dropping this very old Jewish parable here today.
It's a funny one also but the morals lie on the surface, in the original story he asked for his eye to be plucked out but I had to tweek it a bit so enjoy!
THE PARABLE OF THE GREEDY MAN & THE ENVIOUS MAN
A greedy man & an envious man met a King. The king said to them, one of you may ask something of me & I will give it to him, provided I give twice as much to the other.
The envious person did not want to ask first for he was envious of his companion who would receive twice as much, & the greedy man did not want to ask first since he wanted everything that was to be had.
Finally the greedy one pressed the envious one to be the first to make the request. So the envious person asked the king to pluck out one of his balls.
