During a propaganda tour, President Bush visits a school to explain his Politics to kids. He invites the kids to ask him questions. Bobby stands Up and tells him “Mr. President, I got 3 questions:”
(1) How come, that although the count of votes was not in your favor, you Still won the election?
(2) Why do you want to attack Iraq without an imminent reason?
(3) Don’t you also consider the bombing of Hiroshima the biggest terrorist attack of all times?
Before the president can answer, the recess bell rings, and the kids leave the room. After they came back, Bush invited them again to ask questions. Joey stands up and tells him “Mr. President, I got 5 questions:”
(1) How come, that although the count of votes was not in your favor, you Still won the election?
(2) Why do you want to attack Iraq without an imminent reason?
(3) Don’t you also consider the bombing of Hiroshima the biggest terrorist Attack of all times?
(4) Why did the recess bell ring 20 minutes early?
(5) Where’s Bobby?

A dejected Communist Party candidate trudges home after the polls close.
“So, Marek, how many votes did you get?” asks his wife.
“Two,” he responds.
She slaps him hard across the face. “What was that for?”
“You have a mistress, now do you!!?”

Little Boy: What will communism be like when perfected?
His Father: Everyone will have what he needs.
Little Boy: But what if there is a shortage of meat?
His Father: There will be a sign in the butcher shop saying, “No one needs meat today.”

It happened that a Dog had got a piece of meat and was carrying it home in his mouth to eat it in peace.
Now on his way home he had to cross a plank lying across a running brook. As he crossed, he looked down and saw his own shadow reflected in the water beneath.
Thinking it was another dog with another piece of meat, he made up his mind to have that also.
So he made a snap at the shadow in the water, but as he opened his mouth the piece of meat fell out, dropped into the water and was never seen more.
Moral:
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

A DOG, crossing a bridge over a stream with a piece of flesh in his mouth, saw his own shadow in the water and took it for that of another Dog, with a piece of meat double his own in size.
He immediately let go of his own, and fiercely attacked the other Dog to get his larger piece from him.
He thus lost both: that which he grasped at in the water, because it was a shadow; and his own, because the stream swept it away.
Moral:
Grasp at the shadow and lost the substance.
