An Amish man wanted a loan for $500. He approached his local banker. The banker pulled out the loan application, asking, "What are you going to do with the money?"

"Take some jewelry to city and sell it," said the Amish man.

"What have you got for collateral?" queried the banker, going strictly by the book.

"Don't know what collateral means."

"Well that's something of value that would cover the cost of the loan. Have you got any vehicles?"

"Yes, I have a 1949 Chevy pickup."

The banker shook his head, "How about livestock?"

"Yes, I have a horse."

"How old is it?"

"I don't know; it has no teeth."

Finally the banker decided to make the $500 loan.

Several weeks later the Amish man was back in the bank. He pulled out a roll of bills, "Here's the money to pay loan," he said, handing the entire amount including interest.

"What are you going to do with the rest of that money?"

"Put it in my pocket."

"Why don't you deposit it in my bank?" he asked.

"I don't know what deposit means."

"Well, you put the money in our bank and we take care of it for you. When you want to use it you can withdraw it."

The Amish man leaned across the desk, looking suspiciously at the banker, and asked, "What you got for collateral?"

The businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped, exhausted. His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word.

"My, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a hard day today. What happened to make you so exhausted?"

"It was terrible," her husband said, "The computer broke down and all of us had to do our own thinking."

I don't care for it when some of my answerers get a lot of thumbs down from someone, because I do not give a thumbs down and do not want to discourage anyone from answering my stuff.

I read your answer to one question in which you quoted Swami Vivekananda.
My view is that India is doing very good. India Shining ( Bharat Uday really begin in 1880s when two all time sprituall Giants joined hands and begin their Leela on Bharat Bhumi.

Dear N everything is happening for the best of India. you are so learned man then u can easily feel the undercurrent that is pushing India to greater hights. I am quite confident of that.

How can Vivekananda's word go wrong. Never never.

Mother India is awakening again.. slowly and steadly..

Regards
