به نقل از sh@zde :
Saudi Prince goes to Germany to study.

A month later, he sends a letter to his dad saying:
"Berlin is wonderful, people are nice and I really like it here, but I'm a bit ashamed to arrive to school with my gold Mercedes when all my teachers travel by train."

Sometime later he gets a letter from his dad with a ten million dollar check saying:
"Stop embarrassing us!
go and get yourself a train too!"
[ltr]First of all this is not a story. it's a Joke. there's a topic named "English Jokes" so, u'd better put these stuff there. Second of all, i already put this joke in that topic so please don't put these kinda things in the topic. [/ltr]

Gossip


A woman was gossiping with a friend, about a man she hardly knew..
(I know none of you have ever done this!)

That night she had a dream.
A great hand appeared over her and pointed down at her.
She was immediately seized with an overwhelming sense of guilt.
The next day she went to confession.
She got the old parish priest, Father O'Rourke, and she told him the whole thing.

"Is gossiping a sin?" she asked the old man.
"Was that the hand of God Almighty pointing a finger at me?
Should I be asking your absolution?
Father, tell me,
have I done something wrong?"

"Yes!" Father O'Rourke answered her.

"Yes, you ignorant, badly brought-up female!
You have borne false witness against your neighbor,
you have played fast and loose with his reputation,
and you should be heartily ashamed!"

So the woman said she was sorry and asked for forgiveness.
"Not so fast!" says O'Rourke.

"I want you to go home,
take a pillow up on your roof,
cut it open with a knife,
and return here to me!"

So the woman went home, took a pillow off her bed, a knife from the drawer, went up the fire escape to the roof, and stabbed the pillow.
Then she went back to the old parish priest as instructed.

"Did you gut the pillow with the knife?" he says.
"Yes, Father."
"And what was the result?"
"Feathers," she said.
"Feathers?" he repeated.
"Feathers everywhere, Father!"

"Now I want you to go back and gather up every last feather that flew out on the wind!"
"Well," she said, "it can't be done."
"I don't know where they went. The wind took them all over."
"And that," said Father O'Rourke, "is gossip!"​

پاسخ : Short stories

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed.
The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.
That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully

what is the real difference between heaven and hell?


A man spoke with the lord about heaven and hell and asking about the differences between heaven and hell. The Lord said
to the man, " Come, I will show you hell ."They entered a room
where a group of people sat around a huge pot of stew. Everyone
was famished, desperate and starving. Each held a spoon that reached the
pot, but each spoon had a handle so much longer than their own arm
that it could not be used to get the stew into their own mouths.
the suffering was terrible.
"Come, now I will show you heaven, "the lord said after a while. They entered another room, identical to the first- the pot of stew, the group of people,
the same long- handled spoons. But there everyone was happy and
well- nourished.
"I don't understand, "said the man. "Why are they happy here when
they were miserable in the other room and everything was the same?"
The lord smiled. "Ah, it is simple, "he said. "Here they have learned to feed each other."

KINDNESS Pays !

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his
way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was
hungry.
He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost
his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal
he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought
him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How
much do I owe you?"

"You don't owe me anything," she replied "Mother has taught us never
to accept payment for a kindness." He said... "Then I thank you from
my heart."

As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt; stronger
physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been
ready to give up and quit.

Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors
were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called
in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called
in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came
from, a strange light filled his eyes.
Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he we nt in to see her. He recognized her
at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his
best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the
case.

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the
business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked
at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her
room.
She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her
life to pay for it all. Finally, she looked, and something caught ;
her attention on the side as She read these words.....

"Paid in full with one glass of milk." (Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly.

Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You,
GOD, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."


Cheers

I had a dream
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with God
I saw scenes of my life across the sky in each scenes there were two sets of foot prints in the sand
one belong to me and another belongs to God
when i saw last scense of my life looked back at the foot prints in the sand
I noticed that many times along the path of my life there was only one set of foot prints
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life
I questioned God about it:
God you said that once I decided to follow you, you will walk with me all the way but I have noticed that during
the most troublesome times in my life there was only one set of foot prints
I do not understand when I needed you, you would leave me
God replied my precious servant I would never leave you
if you saw only one set of foot prints that was when I carried you

پاسخ : Short stories

This story I originally read in Persian so I need to translate it to English for you. Pardon me for the possible mistakes in advace.
The story is named True love and it's about a very old man who always walked from his house to the sanatarium for elderly people to visit his old wife. One day during the walk he was hit by a car and was taken to the hospital, the nurses and doctors were trying to examine him and care for him but he constantly insisted that he wanted to go because he had to go visit his wife and he always do so in the mornings. For appeasing him and putting his mind at ease the nurses told him that they would call his wife and explain to her what has happened but the man still didn't accept and insisted on leaving he said it would be useless if you call her because she won't understand and she doesn't know me anymore! The nurses were amazed and asked why do you keep going to visit her if she doesn't even know who you are? The old man replied because I still know who she is.​

Two Guys were lost in the Sahara desert .

One is David, the other is Michael .

They were dying of hunger and thirst when they suddenly came upon an oasis,
with what looked like an emirate with a mosque in the middle .

David said to Michael : "Look, let's pretend we are Muslims, otherwise we'll
not get any food or drink. I am going to call myself "Mohammed."


Michael refused to change his name , he said :" My name is Michael, and I
will not pretend to be other than but what I am. ...Michael."

The Imam of the mosque received both well and asked about their names. David
said : "My name is Mohammad ."
Michael said : "My name is Michael. "

The Imam turned to the helpers of the mosque and said :
"Please bring some food and water for Michael."


Then he turned to the other and said :
"Hello Mohammad, Happy Ramadan !"​
