A Pound of Butter...  

 

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting the right

amount, which he wasn’t. Angry about this, he took the farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure to weigh the butter. The farmer replied, “Honor, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale.”

The judge asked, “Then how do you weigh the butter?”

The farmer replied, “Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker.”

The moral of the story- In life, sometimes you get what you give!

Have a great Spring Break!

Five Things You Can Never Recover...  

 

1.  A stone…after it is thrown.

2.  A word…after it is said.

3.  An occasion…after it’s missed.

4.  The time…after it’s gone.

5.  A person…after they die.

Life is short. Forgive quickly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. Never regret anything that made you smile!

Have a nice day...take care of yourself and others!
