It is more blessed ...

   Nasrudin was traveling through the wilderness with a companion. They had become lost and food was running low. Eventually they were down to the last morsel of food. They looked at the food, then at each other. 

"It is more blessed to give than to receive", said the companion.

"In that case", said Nasrudin, "I will give you the blessing of giving me the food!"

	I guess the message is "Practice what you Preach".
