How the Jews got The Ten Commandments

From: manu kumar
I know well that you are not acquainted with Manu. I met her in Orkut. Her thinking is very impressive. Rerely she sends some mails. This is the second I have received. The other is also very interesting.
God went to the Arabs and said, " I have Commandments for you, that will make your lives better"

The Arabs asked, " What are Commandments ? Can you give us an example? "

God said, " For example ........... Thou shall not kill "

The Arabs were shocked, " What ? Not kill ? No way ! Killing and massacaring innocent people is our birth-right and the only reason for our existence. No. We are not interested "

So God went to the Africans and said, " I have Commandments "

The Africans wanted an example.

God said, " For example ........... Honor thy Father and Mother "

The Africans were dismayed. They said, " Father ? Yo maan ! Can't tell for sure, who our fathers are, maan ! "

So God went to the Mexicans and said, " I have Commandments "

The Mexicans wanted an example.

God said, " For example ........... Thou shall not steal "

The Mexicans were flabbergasted. They said, " No steal ? No steal ??? Hey Senor, we no steal then how we live, huh ? Gracias, but no ! "

So God went to the French and said, " I have Commandments "

The French wanted an example.

God said, " For example ........... Thou shall not commit adultery "

The French were stunned. They said, " What ? Not commit ze adultery ....... ? Non, Non, Non. Non Monsieur. Pardonnez nous. We ze French, must have ze romance "

So God went to the Jews and said, " I have Commandments "

They asked, " Commandments ? How much do they cost ? "

God replied, " They are free "

The Jews answered, " Good. We shall take Ten !!! "
