Vivekananda and Professor Jhons



When Vivekananda was taking lectures at the University College of London, there was a professor, whose last name was Jhons, who felt animosity for Vivekananda, and because Vivekananda never lowered his head towards him, their "arguments" were very common.



One day, Mr. Jhons was having lunch at the dining room of the University and Vivekanand came along with his tray and sat next to the professor.



The professor, in his arrogance, said, "Mr Vivekanand: you do not understand... a pig and a bird do not sit together to eat."



Vivekanand replies, "You do not worry professor, I'll fly away," and he went and sat at another table.



Mr. Jhons, green of rage, decides to take revenge on the next test, but Vivekanand responds brilliantly to all questions.



Then, Mr. Jhons asked him the following question, "Mr Vivekanand, if you are walking down the street and find a package, and within it there is a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money; which one will you take?" Without hesitating, Vivekanand responded, "The one with the money, of course."



Mr. Jhons, smiling, said, "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?"



"Each one take what one doesn't have", responded Vivekanand indifferently.



Mr. Jhons, already hysteric, writes on the exam sheet the word "idiot" and gives it to Vivekanand. Vivekanand takes the exam sheet and sits down.



A few minutes later, Vivekanand goes to the professor and says, "Mr. Jhons, you signed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."
