Pope and Mallus

About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that all the Mallus had to
leave Italy

Naturally there was a big uproar from the Mallu community.So the Pope
made a deal

He would have a religious debate with a member of the Mallu community

If the Mallu won, the Mallu could stay. If the Pope won, the Mallus
would leave.

The Mallus realized that they had no choice. So they asked
Sreesanth to represent them .Sreesanth asked for one additional
condition to the debate

To make it more interesting, neither side would be allowed to talk. The
Pope agreed.

The day of the great debate came .Sreesanth and the Pope sat opposite
each other for a full minute

Then the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers.

Sreesanth looked back at him and raised one finger.

The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his head.
Sreesanth  pointed to the ground where he sat.

The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine.

Sreesanth  pulled out an apple.

The Pope stood up and said, "I give up. This man is too good. The Mallus
can stay."

An hour later, the cardinals were gathered around the Pope asking him
what had happened.

The Pope said, "First I held up three fingers to represent the holy
trinity.

He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there was still
One God common to both our religions.

Then, I waved my finger around me to show him that God was all around
us.

He responded by pointing to the ground and showing that God was also
right here with us.

Then, I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us from
our sins.

He pulled out an apple to remind me of original sin.

He had an answer for everything. What could I do?"

Meanwhile, the Mallu community had crowded around Sreesanth.

"What happened?" they asked.

"Well," said Sreesanth, "First he said to me that the Mallus had three
days to get out of here.

I told him not one of us was leaving.

Then he told me that this whole city would be cleared of Mallus.

I let him know that we were staying right here."

"Yes, and then???" asked the crowd.

"I don't know", said Sreesanth,

"He took out his lunch, and I took out mine!!

Yenjoyy !!
