At an elementary school in Cornwall, the teacher said to the class of 5-year-olds, 'I'll give a shilling to the child who can tell me who was the most famous man who ever lived.'
An Irish boy put his hand up and said, 'It was St. Patrick.' The teacher said, 'Sorry Sean, that's not correct.'
Then a Scottish boy put his hand up and said, 'It was St. Andrew.' The teacher replied, 'I'm sorry, Robert, that's not right either.'
Finally, a Jewish boy raised his hand and said, 'It was Jesus Christ.'
The teacher said, 'That's absolutely right, Jacob, come up here and take your shilling.'
As the teacher was handing him the shilling, she said, 'You know Jacob, since you're Jewish, I was very surprised you said Jesus Christ.'
Jacob replied, 'Well, in my heart I knew it was Moses, but business is business...'
