The answer is in the Bible
On trouvera la solution dans le Bible
.
A Jewish businessman was in a great deal of trouble.
His business  was failing, he had put everything
he had into the business, he  owed everybody
it was so bad he was even contemplating suicide.
.
As a last resort he went to a Rabbi and poured out his story of  tears and woe.
When he had finished, the Rabbi said,
"Here's what I want you to  do:
Put a beach chair and your Bible in your car
and drive down  to the beach.
Take the beach chair and the Bible to the water's  edge,
sit down in the beach chair,
and put the Bible in your lap.
Open the Bible; the wind will riffle the pages, but finally,
the  open Bible will come to rest on a page.
Look down at the page  and read the first thing you see.
That will be your answer, that  will tell you what to do."
..

A year later the businessman went back to the Rabbi
and brought  his wife and children with him.
The man was in a new custom-  tailored suit,
his wife in a mink coat, the children shining.
The businessman pulled an envelope stuffed
with money out of his  pocket,
gave it to the Rabbi as a donation
in thanks for his advice.
The Rabbi recognized the benefactor, and was curious.
"You did as  I suggested?" he asked.
.
"Absolutely," replied the businessman.
.
"You went to the beach?"
.
"Absolutely."
.
"You sat in a beach chair with the Bible in your lap?"
.
"Absolutely."
.
"You let the pages riffle until they stopped?"
.
"Absolutely."
.
"And what were the first words you saw?"
.
"CHAPTER 11."
