There was a software engineer, who used to develop
programs on his Pentium machine,
sitting under a tree on the banks of a river.He used
to earn his bread by
selling those programs in the Sunday market.One day,
while he was working, his machine
tumbled off the table and fell in the river.Encouraged
by his
childhood story of the lumberjack and his axe, he
started praying for the river
Goddess.River Goddess wanted to test him and so
appeared only after one
month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that
he lost his computer in the river.As
usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty.She
picked up a match box and asked "Is this
your computer ?".Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of
computer awareness, "No" replied
the engineer. Then she picked up a pocket sized
calculator and asked if that was it.
Annoyed by this, the engineer said "No, not atall" and
also thought of educating the
Goddess about computers.Then she picked up his Pentium
and asked if it was his.The
engineer, left with no option,
sighed and said "Yes !" and took his machine. The
Goddess was happy about his honesty
and was about to give the previous objects also to
him. But even before she could make
the offer, the engineer asked the Goddess," If you
wanted to test my honesty, don't you
know that you should show me some better
omputers,before bringing up my own ?"
Goddess, apparently angered at this, replied, "I know
that, you stupid donkey! The first
two things I showed you were Millennium and
Trillennium,the latest computers from IBM"
and disappeared. The Pentium followed her.
Moral : If you don't know much, better keep
quiet.
Conclusion : Hardware develops faster than a software
engineer.
