CHAPTER I

The Mayor Of Innsbruck, Austria used to insist: "To convey a message you must tell a story."

Didn't Jesus tell parables--stories--to convey His Message? Here is a short one with a message.

"I don't believe it!" So spoke the hotel manager, as the fair lady, a guest at the hotel, complained: "I was thrown out of bed twice, as a freight train passed just now in front of the hotel, shaking the building. And you don't believe me? Are you calling me a liar?" She fumed. "Look here, you lie down on this bed right now, when the next freight train passes, I can assure you, you'll get thrown out of this bed."

"Ridiculous!" the manager insisted. She just shoved him on the bed. In the meantime, the fair lady's husband, who picked up a couple of sandwiches downstairs, returned to the room and wanted to know: "What on earth are you doing in my wife's bed?"

"You won't believe this," answered the hotel manager in his fine yiddish brogue. "I am waiting for a freight train!"

The message: People just don't want to believe!

By the way, Innsbuck, Austria is one of the most beautiful cities in the Alps.
