Business is business

This is a scene from a class of 13year-olds in a Catholic School.

A teacher said to the students,"I'll give Rs.100 to the child who can tell me who was the most respected man, whom people loved and considered God, who ever lived to be worshiped by the mankind."

A Gujarati boy put his hand up and said, "It was Lord Krishna."
The teacher said, "Sorry, that's not correct."

Then, a Sikh boy put his hand up and said, "It was Guru Nanak."
The teacher replied, "I'm sorry, that's not right either."

Then, a Maharashtrian boy raised his hand and said, "It was Sai Baba."
The teacher replied, "Again, that's not the answer."

Finally, a Muslim boy raised his hand and said, "The man was Jesus Christ."

The teacher said, "That's absolutely right, my dear, come up here and I'll give you the prize."

As the teacher was giving the boy his money, she said, "You know my child, since you are Muslim, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ."

The boy replied, "Yes, in my heart I knew it was Allah, but
Business is Business!"
