I appreciate a reader bringing to my attention that 'The Gift'
which I published in DDC 7/10/15 edition may have been a
modification a story in "Celebrating A Christ-Centered Christmas",
by Sharon Jaynes, published in 2001. It is about an African boy
bringing a gift to his teacher. Thank-you Michael G.

My Business
A father walks into the market followed by his ten-year-old
son. The kid is spinning a 25-cent piece in the air and
catching it between his teeth. As they walk through the market
someone bumps into the boy at just the wrong moment and the
coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his throat.
He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and
Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help.
A middle-aged, fairly unremarkable man in a gray suit is sit-
ting at a coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and
sipping a cup of coffee. At the sound of the commotion he looks
up, puts his coffee cup down on the saucer, neatly folds his
newspaper and places it on the counter. He gets up from his
seat and makes his unhurried way across the market. Reaching
the boy (who is still standing, but only just) the man takes
hold of the kid and squeezes gently but firmly. After a few
seconds the boy coughs up the quarter, which the man catches
in his free hand.
The man then walks back to his seat in the coffee bar without
saying a word.
As soon as he is sure that his son was fine, the father rushes
over to the man and starts effusively thanking him.
The man looks embarrassed and brushes off the thanks.
As he's about to leave, the father asks one last question. "I've
never seen anybody do anything like that before - it was fantastic
- what are you, a surgeon or something like that?"
"No" the man replies, "I work for the IRS, getting people to cough
it up is my business."

Customer in bookstore: Hey, can you help me find this book?
Clerk: Sure.
(He holds up a piece of paper with the title and author of
a book on it. I find it on the shelves and hand it to him.)
Customer: Thanks! How'd you do that so fast?
Clerk: Well, I've worked here awhile, and the books are all in
alphabetical order by author's name.
Customer: What do you mean?
Clerk: Alphabetical order. Like the alphabet song? You know,
A's before B's?
(He looks confused, but then widens his eyes.)
Customer: The letters actually go in that order? I thought that
song was just to remember them all.
