From Faith, Obediance

True faith reveals itself in action.

Blondini was a tightrope walker in the last century. He used to walk over the Niagara Falls, and people came from far and wide to see him. He would carry all sorts of things over the water. One day a famous duke and his entourage visited the Niagara Falls. They watched Blondini walk over and clapped. They watched him walk back and shouted for more. Then Blondini asked, “Who believes I could carry this wheelbarrow over the waterfall?” “Of course you can!” said the duke and his friends. Blondini took the wheelbarrow over. Everyone was ecstatic. “Do you believe I could carry this sack of potatoes over the waterfall in the wheelbarrow?” “Yes!!” He duly did. Then he asked, “Who believes I could carry a human being over the falls in this barrow?” “We all do!” they chorused. After a pause, Blondini asked, “Who will get in the wheelbarrow then?” There was an embarrassed silence - the Duke suddenly felt he had better things to do. Suddenly a little old lady came out of the crowd and got in the wheelbarrow. Blondini pushed her over the falls and back again, to the astonishment of the crowd. The lady was Blondini’s mother. Quote
