I have very small hands

Mother took her son to the store.The store keeper was an acquaint.Seeing the kid,he pointed at the chocolate boxes and told him to take whichever he wanted.The kid stood simply.The shopkeeper asked the lady,"Sister you wont scold the child if he took the chocolate.isnt it?" She said,"No,i wont."
Even after forcing a lot the kid stood silently.Finally the shopkeeper himself took out a handful of chocolates and gave it to the kid.
On way back home,mother asked,"Why didnt you take the chocolate even after uncle was forcing you so much?"
The kid said,"I have very small hands.If i had taken,i would have got very few.But since the uncle gave it from his hands,see how many i have now!"

Mamma,you look so beautiful today!

During the evening,the 4 year old toddler started to curl around its mother's legs like a cat and kept climbing upon her.Mother was surprised by its unusual behaviour.She took it in her arms and cuddled it and asked,"What is so special today.Why is my baby so much in love with its mom today?".
Baby said in its broken words,"Mamma,you look so beautiful today."
Mother asked back smiling,"Why so?"
Baby said,"You havent been angry on me at all since morning today.Thats why"

Please accept its death calmly!

Zen teacher Ik-yu was very sharp and intelligent right at young age itself.He captured everyone's attention by his wit and smartness.Ik-yu's master had a precious antique beautiful tea cup which he loved a lot.One day as Ik-yu was cleaning master's room,it fell off his hands accidently and broke.Ik-yu was worried how to tell the teacher about his mistake.The same time,he heard the footsteps of the master approaching his room.
He hid the broken cup behind and stood humbly in front of the master and asked."Teacher,I have a question.Please clear my doubt.Why do people die in this world? Cant we escape it?"
The master explained,"Everyone and everything has death in this world that is natural phenomenon.There is no escpaing it ever.It has to be accepted with calm mind no matter what."
Immediately Ik-yu brought the broken cup in front of him and sheepishly said,"Your antique tea cup died today.Please accept its death calmly!"

Isnt Dad a true Brahmin?

He wasn't ritualistic being a Hindu Brahmin.But he wanted to his child to learn and follow everything.When the son was 8,he carried out his upanayana and said," See child! from now onwards you have to do sandhyavandanam daily twice and do everything that is said in Brahmin caste.Then you will be a true Brahmin.The father went out and the son suddenly turned to his mother and asked,"Mom,Isnt Dad a true Brahmin?Why doesnt he do sandhyavandanam or any other ritual said?"

please note: No religious,caste feelings regarding this post,whatsoever.Its just a witty story

More people will assemble too see me if am hanged in public!

Winston Churchill was recognised in this world mainly because of his talking skills.He was one of the greatest orator and people used to flock to hear him speak in public.Someone who observed this in Chruchill's initial days as a public speaker remarked,"Sir! I have never seen people flocking just to see someone"
Churchill seemed unfazed and replied,"Yes! what you are saying is true.More people than now will flock if am hanged in public"
