Humorous Anecdotes to Accompany The STORY
Chapter 7   The Battle Begins



Which Bible character had no parents?

Joshua, the son of Nun.




Who destroyed the walls of Jericho?

A minister, responsible for the religious education in a school, once visited one of the classes, to check out the education level.   He asked the students: "Please tell me, who destroyed the walls of jericho?"

One of the students stood up and said: "It was not me, Sir!"

The minister thought the kids were making fun of him, so he turned to the teacher and asked: "Is this the way students normally behave here?"

The teacher was puzzled and answered: "I think this student is very honest and I really don't believe he could do such a thing".

Confused, the minister went to his assistant and explained to him what had happened.   The assistant replied: "I know this guy very well, as well as his teacher, so I am absolutely sure none of them is guilty of destroying that wall".

When the minister heard this, he made a formal complaint before the Christian Eduation Commission.   The answer he received from them was the following:

"Dear Sir, let us not make a big issue out of this.   We will pay for the damages caused, accounting for them as current school repairs.   Whatever the losses are, our insurance will cover them."
