The Unemployed Graducate..
An unemployed graduate woke up one morning
and checked his pocket. All he had left was
$10. He decided to use it to buy food and then
wait for death as he was too proud to go
begging.. He was frustrated as he could find no
job, and nobody was ready to help him.
He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an
old man and two little children came along and
asked him to help them with food as they had
not eaten for almost a week. He looked at
them. They were so lean that he could see
their bones coming out. Their eyes had gone
into the socket. With the last bit of
compassion he had, he gave them the food.
The old man and children prayed that God
would bless and prosper him and then gave
him a very old coin. The young graduate said
to them 'you need the prayer more than I do'.
With no money, no job, no food, the young
graduate went under the bridge to rest and
wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he
saw an old newspaper on the ground. He
picked it up, and suddenly he saw an
advertisement for people with old coins to
come to a certain address.
He decided to go there with the old coin the
old man gave him. On getting to the place, he
gave the proprietor the coin. The proprietor
screamed, brought out a big book and showed
the young graduate a photograph.This same
old coin was worth 3 million dollars. The
young graduate was overjoyed as the
proprietor gave him a bank draft for 3 million
dollars within an hour. He collected the Bank
Draft and went in search of the old man and
little children. By the time he got to where he
left them eating, they had gone.
He asked the owner of the canteen if he knew
them. He said no but they left a note for you.
He quickly opened the note thinking it would
lead him to find them. This is what the note
said: 'You gave us your all and we have
rewarded you back with the coin,' signed The
heavenly hosts..
