There were 3 people of different countries that are put to jail for
3 years. They each given a wish to be fulfilled.

The American has asked for 3yrs supply of cigars. The romantic
French has requested for beautiful girls to company him for 3 years
of jail term. Whereas, the Jew has asked for a telephone that can be
connected to people around the world.

lighter to light his cigars... and the French man was frowning on
the upbringing of his many dozens of children. Whereas the Jews was
very happy as in the past 3 years, his business has not only grow
for 200%, he has also on-track and up-to-date on the happenings of
the world.

The Key
=======
There is a stiff steel padlock hanging on the door latch. A strong
iron rod is trying very hard to break it open but failed. Then
suddenly come a tiny little key, with ease... and with its skinny
little body, it has open the stiff steel padlock with just a light
twist. The iron rod is curious and ask, "how could it possible that
a big strong rod like me can't force open the padlock and with just
a soft twist your tiny little key can easily open this stiff
padlock??" The key replied, "because I have a deep understanding of
its heart."
----//----
Everyone hearts is like a door locked by a stiff padlock. You can't
simply open it with any strong or big iron rod. You need a suitable
key of care and love, tender and concern to fit yourself in as a
gentle person into that stiff and stubborn heart of another person.
