It was midday in the scorching sun. The road was long and deserted. Two adults and a young boy had been walking for 3 days.

For food they had eaten olives, berries and leaves. The water bag was nearly empty.
They came across an olive tree and lay down to rest in its shade.

Presently, a Roman Centurion and his young son passed by. They also took refuge under the olive tree.

The Israeli boy started to play with the Roman boy.
“Don’t talk to Romans”, warned his mother. “It’s Ok”, replied the Centurion, “On this road, we’re just people”.
The children ignored their parents’ comments.
“I see you are out of water,” said the Centurion. He lifted his water bag and poured some into the couple’s bag. It was an unusual act of kindness. You wouldn’t expect it from a Roman soldier.
There was nobody here to judge.
The two young children carried on playing together, oblivious to their different backgrounds.
As the sun started to go lower, it was time to get going. The Israelis started to gather their things. They thanked the Centurion for his kindness and set off. Nazareth was still a long way to go.
As they parted in different directions, the Jewish boy turned and shouted to the Roman boy, “I’m Jesus. What’s your name, by the way?”
The Roman boy turned and shouted back, “Thanks for playing with me! I hope we can meet again. My name’s Pilate – Pontius Pilate.”

Explanation of the above story
At the beginning of the story you do not know the names of the characters. Then at the end, I drop the first clue “Nazareth” - which is well known to be the home town of Jesus Christ. You can maybe guess that the family are Mary and Joseph with Jesus as a boy.
You still can’t guess the other boy’s name.
The punch line - the one which is set to get you thinking - comes when we discover the other boy’s name is Pontius Pilate.
I don’t need to write any more as the rest of the story has already been told.
As many will know, Pontius Pilate, who became the Emperor, was best known for overseeing the trial and crucifiction of Jesus Christ.
At the end my story isn’t finished. It is part of one of the best selling books in the world - The Holy Bible.
There is no suggestion that this incident actually happened. It is fiction. Just a story. It’s not in the bible.

14. The Ant and the Grasshopper
The Ant and the Grasshopper story
Once upon a time, there were two best friends – an ant and a grasshopper. The grasshopper liked to relax the whole day and play his guitar. The ant, however, would work hard all day. He would collect food from all corners of the garden, while the grasshopper relaxed, played his guitar, or slept. The grasshopper would tell the ant to take a break every day, but the ant would refuse and continue his work. Soon, winter came; days and nights became cold and very few creatures went out.
On a cold day of winter, a colony of ants was busy drying out some grains of corn. The half-dead grasshopper, cold and hungry, came up to the ant who was his friend and asked for a piece of corn. The ant replied, “We work day and night to collect and save up the corn so that we don’t die hungry on cold winter days. Why should we give it to you?” The ant further asked, “What were you doing last summer? You should have collected and stored some food. I told you as much before.”
The grasshopper said, “I was far too busying singing and sleeping.”
The ant replied, “You can sing all winter as far as I am concerned. You will not get anything from us.” The ant had enough food to last through the winter, without any worries at all, but the grasshopper didn’t and he realised his mistake.
Moral of the Story
Make hay while the sun shines.
