THE LOAN...... a parable on lending money by Jude kyrie

The two men had been friends forever.
then one of them asked to borrow $1000
Just until payday in two weeks he said.

the money was given without question.
After a month the loan was still not paid
just  until next payday I got a bill he said.
i got some bills.

after six months
the loan was still outstanding.
his friend said I can't pay you back
but you can have my dog instead.

they went to his home
and he brought out the dog.
it was a mangy mutt
with no teeth a foot long
tongue. Hung from its slobbering chops.
it was almost bald had one eye
and proceeded to do its business
on the living room rug.

He said to his friend 
one more month
that's all you understand.

a month later 
his friend said I can't pay you
but you can have my wife.
back at the house he brought
in the lady on offer.

his friend slowly inspected her.
walking around her
as he stroked  his chin .
after a little while he said.
would it be alright if I took
another look at. That dog.
