In old Russia, two beggars sat next to each other in a district where few Jews lived. One held a sign saying Please help the war veteran, and the other holds a sign saying Please help a poor Jew.

People pass by and even those who didnt intend to give money to either of them, give to the first beggar to upset the Jew. Finally, one day a good man passes by, gives money equally to both, and then says to the Jew: Why dont you change your sign? Dont you understand that nobody will give you any money? and walks away. As he goes, the Jew turns to the other beggar and says: Chaim, he would teach us business…
