The Mexican

A Mexican family crosses the border to the Land of Milk and Honey
where the streets are supposed to be paved with gold. But the
husband can find no work. His family is hungry, so he takes a walk to
a quiet place at the foot of a big hill, kneels at the base of a
tree, and begins to pray: Sweet Jesus, please show me a way to feed
my family..."

Eyes closed, the Mexican does not see the Black man coming over the
top of the hill, who is struggling with a broken grocery sack and
loses a wheel of his cheese. When the Mexican man opens his eyes, the
large wheel of cheddar cheese from the Black man's grocery bag rolls
down the hill and lands at the Mexican's feet! "Oh, thank you Jesus,
thank you!" he cries, grabs the cheese, and runs straight home. Upon
returning home, he gives the cheese to his wife and instructs her
to make nachos.

"But wouldn't you rather have cheese enchiladas and
burritos and other things?" She inquires.

"No," the husband says, "Jesus sent this to me with a message...As I
ran home, I kept hearing a voice from Him yelling, 'THAT'S NACHO CHEESE!
THAT'S NACHO CHEESE!
