Chopsticks in Hell
There is a Chinese Proverb story that tells of a man who visits hell:
He arrives to a large, lavish room, with scores of guests. Each guest is seated around an endless, grand, exquisitely carved, banquet table. A mountainous feast lay before them, with the most luscious selection of food he had ever beheld.
“Could I be in the right place?” He wondered.
Then he observed, that all of the guests held a pair of 12-foot chopsticks.
And, all of the guests were starving.
***************************************************************************************
Next he visits Heaven.
He beheld the same room, the same table, and the same, bounteous feast. The guests also held 12-foot chopsticks… Yet, they were happily feasting!
For they were feeding eachother.
Those old proverbs are very good. I like this one. Thank you for sharing .
I am glad to enjoy them together!
