Amish Farmer Trying to Avoid Pride

An Amish farmer bought a new pair of overalls. Of course, the Amish are famous for their simplicity, and trying to avoid pride. As he put on his new overalls and looked in the mirror, he said, “Oh, this will never do! I’ll be proud in these!” So he removed the new overalls and put on the patched ones. He stood again in front of the mirror and said, “Ahh, you’d look good in anything!” Sins like pride can be so deceitful; you can be proud that you’re not proud. (Source Unknown)
