| One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw Santa and Banta eating grass by the road side. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. "Why are you eating grass?" he asked Santa. "We don`t have any money for food," Santa replied. "Oh, come along with me then," instructed the lawyer. "But, sir, I have a wife and three children!" "Bring them along!" replied the lawyer. He turned to Banta and said, "Come with us." "But sir, I have a wife and four children!" Banta answered. "Bring them as well!" answered the lawyer as he headed for his limo. They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, Santa says, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you." The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is almost a foot tall." |
