A story that i came across and want to share with you all " A STORY OF GIVING AND LIVING" A story of a rich Goan landlord who once asked his parish priest - " why does everybody call me stingy when everyone knows that when i die i will leave everything that i have to this church?" the priest said; there was once a pig and a cow in this village. this puzzled the pig. the pig said to the cow, people speak warmly of your good nature and your helpful attitude. they think you are genrous because each day you give them milk, butter and cheese. but what about me? i give them everything i have, i give them the famous goa sausages, bacon and ham. i also provide ingredientsfor sorpotel yet no one likes me. why is that? the priest continued ' do you know what the cow answered? the cow said "perhaps its because i give while i am still living"
