Man, I liked this one so much I typed it up!
When he was a boy, someone’s great-grandfather told him this story about a traveler in thirteenth-century France.
The traveler met three men pushing wheelbarrows. He asked in what work they were engaged, and he received from them the following three answers.
The first said: I toil from sunrise to sunset and all I receive for my labor is a few francs a day.
The second said: I’m happy enough to wheel this wheelbarrow, for I have not had work for many moths and I have a family to feed.
The third said: I am building Chartes Cathedral.
But as a boy he had no idea what a chartes cathedral was.
Perhaps a Kind of Cake
Very very clever.
