A doctor, a lawyer, a priest, and a young boy were aboard a small plane when the engine suddenly failed.
The pilot shouted, “We’re going down!”
Everyone panicked.
There were only three parachutes left.
The doctor grabbed one and declared, “I save lives every day. People need me!”
Without another word, he jumped.
The lawyer immediately snatched another parachute.
“I am the smartest man in the world,” he announced proudly. “Humanity can’t afford to lose my brilliance!”
Then he leaped out of the plane.
That left the priest and the young boy with what seemed to be only one parachute.
The priest smiled kindly and said, “My son, I’ve lived a full life. You take the last parachute.”
The boy couldn’t help but laugh.
“Relax, Father.”
He pointed toward the open door and grinned.
“The smartest man in the world just jumped out wearing my backpack.”
