[BITList] 'Don't despair'

[John Feltham]

From a correspondent…




'Don't despair'

 This will Definitely bring a smile!!
  



Sitting by the window of her convent, Sister Barbara opened a letter from home one evening.  
 
Inside the letter was a $100 bill her parents had sent.  
 
Sister Barbara smiled at the gesture. 
  
As she read the letter by the window, she noticed a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against the lamp post below.  
 
Quickly, she wrote, "Don't despair. - Sister Barbara," on a piece of paper, wrapped the $100 bill in it, got the man's attention and tossed it out the window to him.  
 
The stranger picked it up, and with a puzzled expression and a tip of his hat, went off down the street.  
 
The next day, Sister Barbara was told that a man was at her door, insisting on seeing her. She went down, and found the stranger waiting. Without a word, he handed her a huge wad of $100 bills.  

"What's this?" she asked. 
 
"That's the $8,000 you have coming Sister," he replied. "Don't Despair paid 80-to-1."
