"During the days of the Berlin Wall some East Berliners decided they were going to send their West Berlin adversaries a little 'gift.' They loaded up a dump truck with all sorts of garbage, broken bricks, old tires, building materials, and any-thing else of zero value. They drove the truck across the border, gained clearance, and dumped it all on the West Berlin side.
"Needless to say, the West Berliners were incensed and were going to 'get even' with them. Fortunately, a very wise man intervened giving entirely different counsel. As a result, they responded by loading a dump truck with bags of food (scarce in East Berlin), clothing (also scarce), medical supplies (even more scarce), and a host of other essential items. They drove the truck across the border, carefully unloaded it all, and left a sign that read neatly: 'Each gives according to one's ability to give.'" - Zig Ziglar
