About a decade or two ago, the Pope decided that all
the Indians had to leave Italy. Naturally there
was a big uproar from the Indian community. So the
Pope made a deal. He would have a debate with a member
of the Indian community. If the Indians won, the
Indians could stay. If the Pope won, the Indians
would leave. The Indians realised that they had no
choice. So they picked a young-dynamic man named chilkan
to represent them.

Chilkan asked for one addition 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.Chilkan and the Pope sat opposite each other for a
full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed
three fingers.Chilkan looked back at him and raised one
finger. The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around
his head.Chilkan pointed to the ground where he sat. The
Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine.Chilkan
pulled out an apple. The Pope stood up and said, "I
give up. This man is too good. The Indians can
stay."

An hour later, the cardinals were all around the Pope
asking him what had happened. The Pope said, "First I
held up three fingers to represent the trinity. He
responded by holding up one finger to remind me that
there was still one God common to all 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. 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 indian community had crowded around
chilkan. "What happened?" they asked. "Well" said chilkan,
"First he said to me that the Indians had three
days to get out of here. I told him that not one of us
was leaving. Then he told me that this whole city
would be cleared of Indians. I let him know that we
were staying right here." "Yes, yes,.. and then???"
asked the crowd. "I don't know", said Bala, "He took
out his lunch, and I took out mine!"
