Back
in the olden days when Samurai were important, there was a powerful
Japanese Emperor who needed a new Chief Samurai. So he sent out
a declaration throughout the entire known world of that time that
he was searching for a CHIEF. A year passed, but only 3 people applied
for the very demanding position;
1. a Japanese Samurai
2. a Chinese Samurai
3. a Jewish Samurai
The emperor asked the Japanese Samurai to
come in and demonstrate why he should be the chief Samurai. The
Japanese Samurai opened a match box, and out popped a bumblebee.
Whoosh! went his sword, and the bumblebee dropped dead on the
ground. The emperor exclaimed "That is very impressive!"
The emperor then issued the same challenge to the Chinese Samurai,
to come in and demonstrate why he should be chosen. The Chinese
samurai also opened a match box and out buzzed a fly. Whoosh,
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! And the fly dropped dead on the ground
in four small pieces. The emperor exclaimed: "That is VERY
impressive!"
Now the emperor turned to the Jewish Samurai, and asked him to
demonstrate why he should be the Chief Samurai. The Jewish Samurai
also opened a match box, and out flew a gnat. His flashing sword
went Whoosh! But the gnat was still alive and flying around. The
emperor, obviously disappointed, said: "Very ambitious!,
but why is that gnat not dead?"
The Jewish Samurai just smiled and said, "Circumcision is
not meant to kill."
