A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, “My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?”

The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, and even fix his car.

As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. A sound not like anything he’s ever heard before. The Sirens that nearly seduced Odysseus into crashing his ship comes to his mind. He doesn’t sleep that night. He tosses and turns trying to figure out what could possibly be making such a Seductive sound.

The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.”

Distraught, the man is forced to leave.

Years later, after never being able to forget that sound, the man goes back to the monastery and pleads for the answer again.

The monks reply, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.”

The man says, “If the only way I can find out what is making that beautiful sound is to become a monk, then please, make me a monk.”

The monks reply, “You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of grains of sand. When you find the answers, you! will have become a monk.”

The man sets about his task. After years of searching he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery.

“I have travelled the earth and have found what you have asked for: by design, the world is in a state of perpetual change. Only God knows what you Ask. All a man can know is himself, and only then if he is honest and reflective and willing to strip away self deception.”

The monks reply, “Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the mystery of the sound.”

The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, “The sound is beyond that door”

The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door Is another door made of stone.

The man is given the key to the stone door and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby.

And so it went that he needed keys to doors of emerald, gold and diamond.

Finally, the monks say, “This is the last key to the last door.”

The man is apprehensive to no end. His life’s wish is behind the door!

He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is utterly amazed to find the source of that haunting and seductive sound………..

But I can’t tell you what it is because you’re not a monk.

If dogs are a man’s best friend..
And diamonds are a girl’s best friend..
Does that mean everybody loves a dog wearing diamonds?
*Or does the dog need to be made out of diamonds?

A king was trying to find an equal mate for his daughter and decided to have the greatest men from all around come to see if the were well suited for his daughter. Many years ago a witch had cast a spell on her that made it so anything she touched melted away. The only way it could be lifted is if a substance could be found that didn’t melt when she touched it. The king had a man come with a giant sword made from the purest of diamonds. She grabbed the sword and it melted into a big pile. Later the king brought a man with a shield made from bamboo, thinking hey, plants can’t melt, why not. Well that didn’t work either, so they eventually he became fed up with it and started to make plans with the queen to have a new daughter that can take over the throne. One day a peasant boy approached the throne and said reach into my pocket and i promise whats in there wont melt. So she did and she pulled something out that didn’t melt. What was in her hand????
Way to go old guy you got it!!
