Optimist – Level 1

Three friends have a good friend. His name is Joe. Joe is a very big optimist. At every bad situation he always says, “This is no big problem. It could be worse.”

His friends don’t like big optimists. So they want to tell Joe a horrible story the next day. They think that Joe cannot find a positive side to this horrible story.

So the next day, only two of his friends come to play golf. Joe asks, “Where’s Gary?”

One of his friends says, “Yesterday, Gary saw his wife in bed with another man, he killed them both, and then he killed himself.”

Joe says, “Well, it could have been worse.”

Both his friends say, “How could it be worse? Your best friend killed himself!”

Joe says, “If it was two days ago, I would be dead now!”
