A bout a century ago, the pope challenged the Jewish community of Rome to a debate.The jews looked round for a champion who could defend their faith, but no one wanted to volunteer,it was too risky.
So they finally picked an old man named Moishe who spent a major part of his life sweeping.Being old and poor he had nothing to lose so agreed.
He asked for only one condition as rules to the debate. Not being used to saying very much,he asked that neither of them be allowed to talk.The pope agreed.
The day of the great debate came and sitting opposite each other, the pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.Moishe looked back and and raised one finger.
The pope waved his fingers in a circle round his head.Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat.
The pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine.Moishe pulled out an apple.The pope stood up and said "i give up.This man is too good.The Jews win."
An hour later the cardinals are asking what happened and he says"first i held up three finger to represent trinity.He responded by holding up one hand to remind me that there was only one God.
Then i waved my finger round to show that God was all around us .He responded by pointing down to say he was right here with us.
I pulled out a wafer and wine to show God absolves us from sin and he an apple to remind us of the original sin.What could i do,he had an answer to everything.
Meanwhile inthe Jewish comm. everyone was amazed and Moishe had this to say of his answers,"first he said the Jews had three days to leave and i told him not one person was leaving here. Then he said the whole city would be cleared of Jews and i told him that we're staying right here.
And then?" asked one anxious listener,'he took out his lunch and i mine" said Moishe.
A funny piece but all i want to say is that there is a genius in each one of us lets bring it out.
