Magic Touch
A caravan of
gypsies arrived in a small town in Kansas. A local lady heard about this band of mystics
and decided to see if a particular miracle worker tagged along with them. Asking around
for this healer, she found herself inside a tent.
"Are you Bernardo the Miracle Man?" she asked the old man.
"Yes, I am," he replied, pleased to find someone interested in his services.
"Is it true that you clasped the ears of a deaf man and gave him the ability to
hear?"
"Yes, it is true," said Bernardo.
"Is it true that you brushed your fingers against the eyelids of a blind man and gave
him the ability to see?"
"Yes, that is also true," said Bernardo.
At this point she went outside of the tent and rolled in her husband who sat in a
wheelchair looking lifeless. "Well then, do you think you could help my
husband?"
"I can try," Bernardo said. "Is he paralyzed?"
"Even worse," she replied. "He works for the phone company."
