Taking Credit & Passing the Buck

Hello friends,

It is human nature to take credit for good work done, although not done by you and to pass the blame on others for poorly done work, although you may have been the culprit.
In all walks of like, whether in school, college at work or at home.
All humans have this fault to a lesser or greater degree.

However, this story tells how sometimes, this tendency backfires.

Mary was to bake a cake for the church ladies' group bake sale,
but she forgot to do it until the last minute. She baked an
angel food cake and when she took it from the oven, the center
had dropped flat.

She said, "Oh dear, there's no time to bake another cake."
So, she looked around the house for something to build up the
center of the cake.

Mary found it in the bathroom... a roll of toilet paper.
She plunked it in and covered it with icing. The finished
product looked beautiful, so she rushed it to the church.

Before she left the house, Mary had given her daughter some
money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the
minute it opened, and to buy that cake and bring it home.
When the daughter arrived at the sale, the attractive cake had
already been sold.

Mary was beside herself.

The next day, Mary was invited to a friend's home where two
tables of bridge were to be played that afternoon.

After the game, a fancy lunch was served, and to top it off, the
cake in question was presented for dessert.

Mary saw the cake, she started to get out of her chair to rush
into the kitchen to tell her hostess all about it, but before
she could get to her feet, one of the other ladies said,
"What a beautiful cake!"

Mary sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess
(who was a prominent church member) say:

"Thank you, I baked it myself."
