Sitting with my grandfather had always been fun for me. I loved to sit in his company once he told me a really funny story. Enjoy this story.
“About a century ago, the Pope decided that all Sikhs have to leave Italy. Naturally there was a biguproar from the Sikh community, so the people made a deal. The Pope would have religious debate with a member of Sikh community. If the Sikh won, Sikhs would stay. If the Pope won, the Sikhs would leave. The Sikhs realized that they had no choice. They approached a middle aged man named Harbinder Singh to represent them. Harbinder asked for another condition, to make it more interesting, neither side would be allowed to talk and also agreed. The day of the great debate came, Harbinder Singh and Pope sat opposite to each other for a full minute. The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Harbinder looked back at him and lifted one finger. The Pope lifted his finger in circle. Harbinder pointed his fingers towards the ground where he sat. The Pope pulled out a wafer with glass of wine and Harbinder pulled out an apple. After then Pope said, I am leaving. This man is best one. “After some time Italian’s people gathered around Pope asking him what’s wrong with you. The Pope said, “First one is I held up three fingers to represent the holy trinity. He replied by holding one finger to remind me that there was still one God common to both our religious. Then I waved my fingers around me to show him that God was also right there with us. Then I pulled out wine and wafer to show that God had absolved us of our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me the original sin.He had an answer of every question that what would I do?” Although the Sikh community had around Harbinder Singh “what’s wrong with you? They asked” “Well said Harbinder Singh, “ he said to me, Sikhs have only three days for far away, then asked the happy crowd. “I don’t know.”
