A man doing telephone solicitations for a local charity called up a
prominent and wealthy lawyer and asked him for a modest donation.
The lawyer became incensed at the request and said to his caller:
"I bet you weren't aware that just this past week my wife required major
surgery and the expenses for this surgery weren't covered by insurance."

The caller started to apologize and express his regret for having
asked for money and was interrupted by the lawyer who chimed in,
"And this past month my mother died and my family had to put together
an expensive funeral for her."

Again the caller tried to apologize to the lawyer for attempting to
solicit a donation and told the lawyer he was sorry to hear that his
mother had died.

"Then just this past month, one of my sons came down with a serious
illness and almost died.....and my daughter needed plastic surgery to
repair a congenital defect on her face," the lawyer added to the
conversation.

The caller again felt bad and regretted having bothered the lawyer
for taking up his time and apologized to him.

The lawyer than reponded, "And if I didn't give any of these people
my money, why should I give some to you."
