Book Shelf

There was once a man who had lots of books, one for Mathematics, Social Science, Biology, Chemistry, he had it all, and it all fitted in a book shelf. But there was one book he didn't like to put in his book shelf, it was a thick small book, the Bible.

The man went in times of trouble. It was said that he almost went bankrupt. So he sold some of his books, three classic books which was sold at a very steep price. Now the books that fitted in the bookshelf were starting to slant over the leaning books, then it began to fall. He bought a book weight but it was still no use for the weight of all the books. Then he thought of another way, one that would solve it for good.

He reached the back of his drawer and took out the thick, small book. He held it up straight against the other books, and there it stood every book up straight thanks to the Bible.
