  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There was a man one time working along with other men. The men were putting planks in a heap. This man used to only carry one plank at a time while all the other men carried two. The man that was over them asked him why it was that he only carried one while all the rest carried two. He said that the rest of the men were to lazy to come back for the other.
