Platu got admission in a new school where he discovers that he is the only Jewish kid in the class. But he was lucky to be in a decent town where nobody really bothers him.

One day the teacher asks the class “Who was the greatest person who ever lived? and why?” And to make it interesting she held a twenty dollar bill in the air and said whoever gives the best answer will get this twenty dollars”.

All of the kids called out their guesses.

One said “George Washington – because he was the father of our country.”

“That’s excellent” said the teacher.

Another said “Abraham Lincoln – because he freed the slaves.”

“That’s also good” said the teacher, reluctant to bestow an excellent, but still being polite.

One little girl said “Joan of Arc – because she saved France.”

Another excellent choice said the teacher.

Then Platu raised his hand. So the teacher called on him. “Platu, who do you think was the greatest person who ever lived, and why?”

And Platu said “Yes Mam, its Jesus Christ.”

The teacher was shocked. “Platu,” she said “I’m very surprised. Class, I think we can all agree that Platu should get the twenty dollars.” And she handed Platu the money. At recess, the teacher was still very impressed. So she asked Platu why he said Jesus.

Platu said “Look, personally I believe Moses was the greatest person who ever lived, but…you know mam… business is business!”
