£50 note

I heard this little story the other day, which I will now paraphrase. Not sure if this is true or an urban myth or just a fun little story to make people feel good but...

A lecturer pulled out a £50 note from his pocket and said to his class 'Would anyone like this?'

(There were several willing takers)

So he crumpled it into ball, and threw it on the ground and jumped on it! He picked up the battered note and offered it again to the class. Despite it's worse for wear state, the impoverished students were still equally keen to take it off his hands.

'So', he said, 'what it's been through hasn't changed it's value. People are the very same. Whatever you've been through, you're still a person of value'

Sounds like a pretty easy class, huh?
