A man went for a loan to a bank manager, who said, “In truth I should refuse you, but I’ll give you a sporting chance. One of my eyes is made of glass. If you point out the correct one I’ll grant the loan.”

The customer looked at the other intently for a few moments and then said: “It’s your right eye.”

“That’s correct,” said the manager. “How did you guess?’

“Well,” replied the customer, “It’s the kind and sympathetic one.”

Sympathy is the golden key that unlocks the heart of others.
