Know your customer

One day in a school in London, a teacher said to a Bible class of 5-year-olds…” I'll give 10 pounds to the child who can tell me who was the most famous saint who ever lived." An Irish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St. Patrick." The teacher said, "Sorry Paddy, that's not correct." 'Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, "It was St. Andrew." The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, Hamish, that's not right either. "Then a Jewish boy put his hand up and said "David", The Buddhist boy said "Gautama Buddha" and the Muslim boy said "Mohammed". They all were not successful. Finally, a Gujarati boy raised his hand and said, "It was Jesus Christ." The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, Harish, come up here and I'll give you the 10 pounds that I promised." As the teacher was giving Harish his money, she said, "You know Harish, since you're a Hindu Gujarati, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ." Harish replied, "Yes. In my heart I knew it was Krishna , but Business is Business! Business Moral : Talk the language which the "Customer" wants, not that which you know!
