It's a true story. I know a
person, not a friend, just an
acquaintance. While we met,
probably a few years ago, he
told me that he was not married.
I said, "Why not?" He said,
"Well, I have not had the time
yet." Yeah, very busy and all
that. So I said, "Okay, so when
is the time then you will
marry?" He said, "Yes, of
course, I like very much to get
married and I've some person
already that I want to marry." I
asked him, "What is the reason
you want to get married?" He
told me, "Well, it's a very sad
life to be a bachelor." For
example, when he has a glass of
juice or drinks something in the
morning, then hurries to go to
work and puts the glass on the
table without cleaning or
putting it away, after he has
worked all day long, he comes
back in the evening (laughter),
the glass is still there. No one
moved it away or tidied up for
him. So he feels like it's
pretty untidy, cold and
unwelcoming. He would like to
get married. It would be better.
After some time, I heard that he
was married. I said, "Oh, good!
Congratulations! Ah, now you are
married." He said, "Yes." I
said, "Well, I wish you all the
best luck in the world. I still
remember the story you told me
about the empty glass on the
table which you put in the
morning after breakfast and it
still stayed there until after
you got back from work in the
evening. So what happened now to
the glass story? Did it change?"
He said, "Oh, yes, it changed.
There are two glasses on the
table when I come back." (Master
and everyone laugh. Applause)กน |
