Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome, Italy. One has a Cross in front of him, the other is holding the Star of David
Many people walk by, look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of thebeggar sitting behind the Cross.
After a while, the Pope comes by. He stops and watches the throngs of people giving money to the beggar with the Cross, while none are giving to the beggar with the Star of David.
Finally, the Pope approaches the beggar with the Star of David and says. "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country. This city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit here with a Star of David in front of you;especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who is holding a Cross!In fact, they would probably give more money to him just out of spite."
The beggar with the Star of David listens to the Pope,smiles and turning to the beggar with the Cross, says."Moshe, look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing!"
