A boy was cycling with a basket of eggs on it.
He hit a stone and fell down along with the cycle. The eggs also fell down and broke. A crowd gathered around the boy.
As usual free advice started flowing from the on lookers, “Couldn’t you be more careful?”
“What is this, you are cycling, casually without attention?”
An old man approached the crowd saw what had happened and said, “Poor fellow this boy has to answer the Owner of the shop. Ok I will help him, as much as I can……,” saying this handed over $10 to the boy.
And also said, “These onlookers are good people, they will not only give advice, they will help you by giving money also, accept their help.”
The onlookers observing the sayings of the old man and his actions, gave money to the boy.
The boy was very happy, since the money collected was more than the value of the eggs broken.
One of the onlooker asked the boy, “Young man if that old man was not around, I do not know what difficulties you would have faced with your owner.”
The boy smiled and replied, “Sir, that old man is the owner of the shop, where I work.”

A man is walking home when he sees a dog buying meat for his owner.
The man watches the dog when the butcher takes a little to much and growls and him until he gets the right amount. The man follows the dog and watches as the dog stands on two legs and helps an old lady across the street. Amazed the man follows the dog home and watches the dog ring the doorbell.
When the owner comes to the door the owner takes the bags and tells the dog to stay in the front yard.
Frustrated the man goes up to the owner and yells “This dog is amazing! He gets your groceries, makes sure you have the exact change, helps old ladies across the street and this is how you treat him!”
The owner replies, “I know but,this is the 3rd time this week he left his keys”.
=============================================
There is a monastery in Europe perched high on a cliff several hundred feet in the air.
The only way to reach the monastery was to be suspended in a basket which was pulled to the top by several old monks who pulled and tugged with all their strength.
Obviously the ride up the steep cliff in that basket was terrifying.
One tourist got exceedingly nervous about half-way up as he noticed that the rope by which he was suspended was old and frayed.
With a trembling voice he asked the monk who was riding with him in the basket how often they changed the rope.
The monk thought for a moment and answered brusquely, “Whenever it breaks.”
