There was a king of Spain who was very proud of his ancestors, and who was known for his cruelty to the weak.
One time, he was walking with his advisers across a field in Aragon, where - years before - he had lost his father during a battle, when he found a holy man searching a large pile of bones.
" What are you doing there?" - asked the king.
"Honored greetings, Your Majesty," said the holy man. "When I heard that the king of Spain was coming this way, I resolved to recover the bones of your late father and present them to you. But however hard I search, I cannot find them: They are exactly the same as the bones of country folk, the poor, beggars and slaves."

A jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft.
The HR manager interviewed him, then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
“You are employed,” he said.” Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”
The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, nor an email.”
“I’m sorry”, said the HR manager, “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist. And those who don’t exist, cannot have the job.”
The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do, with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a crate of tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door campaign. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the Operation three times, and returned home with $60. The man realized that he could survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier, and return later. Thus, his money doubled or even tripled every day.
Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. 5 years later , the man becomes one of the biggest food retailers in the US.
He started to plan his family’s future, and decided to buy an insurance policy.
He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied, “I don’t have an email.” The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!!”
The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”
