Jose and Carlos are beggars.

 

 

 

They beg in different areas of town.

 

  Carlos begs for the same amount of time  as Jose, but collects only

about $8.00 or $9.00 a day.

 

Jose brings home a suitcase full of ten-dollar  bills every day.  He drives a Mercedes,

lives in a mortgage-free house, and has  a lot of money to spend.

 

  "Hey, amigo," Carlos says to Jose,

"I work just as long and hard as you do,  so how come you bring home a suitcase  full of ten dollar bills every day?

 

  Jose says,  "Look at your sign, what does it say?"

 

 

Carlos reads his sign:

"I have no work, a wife  and six kids to support."

 

 

"What's wrong with that?"

Carlos asks him.

 

 

"No wonder you only get  $8.00 or $9.00 a day!" says Jose.

 

 

Carlos says,

"All right, what is on your sign?"

 

 

Jose shows him:

 

"NEED ONLY $10 More Dollars to get back to Mexico!"
