MESSAGE #114 - A LESSON FOR ALL OF US

Many years ago, Irv Furman, the great storyteller and magician, gave me this story . . .

A team of research scientists had selected four groups of monkeys for a pharmaceutical experiment.

The animals in the first group were to receive a high dose of the drug being studied.

Those in the second group were to get a moderate dose.

The monkeys in the third group were scheduled to receive a low dose of the drug.

And those in the fourth group were to be injected with a placebo.

The day before the experiment was to begin, the monkeys in the high-dose group were deprived of food while those in the other three groups were fed as usual.

On the morning of the experiment, tests revealed unexpected nutrients in the blood of the fasting monkeys. The researchers were surprised. They decided to repeat the previous day’s procedure, but this time they were going to observe the behavior of the monkeys at night when the lights were off.

The researchers made a touching discovery.

The monkeys who were being fed were passing their food to their hungry friends who were being deprived of food.
