A Joke With A Lesson

SWEETER THAN HONEY | July 17, 2022

Yisroel said to the canteen worker in camp, "You are so lucky! You can eat from the canteen for free!" "Don't be so jealous. I don't eat anything they fry here. I know what really goes on back there...!" "What are you talking about?" Yisroel asked. "I remember last year they even cleaned the fryer." "Exactly... and that was the last time they cleaned it."

What's The Lesson?

Don't be jealous of others. We don't always know the full story! Sometimes what looks wonderful or amazing on the outside is not really so. Be thankful for what Hashem gives you, because only He knows what is truly best for you.
