Porcupine winter and another joke.

It was the coldest winter ever. Many animals died because of the
cold. The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided
to group together. This way they covered and protected
themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest
companions even though they gave off heat to each other.
After a while, they decided to distance themselves one
from the other and they began to die, alone and frozen.
So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of
their companions or disappear from the Earth. Wisely,
they decided to go back to being together. This way they
learned to live with the little wounds that were caused by the
close relationship with their companion, but the most
important part of it was the heat that came from the others.
This way they were able to survive.
The best relationship is not the one that brings
together perfect people, but the best is when each individual
learns to live with the imperfections of others and can admire
the other person's good qualities.
The Moral of the story:

Learn to love the pricks in your life!!

Driving a horse and buggy, Tom picks up his new bride and all her bags before starting the long trip home again. About an hour into the trip the horse trips over a rock in the road and stumbles. Calmly Tom stops the buggy, climbs down as his wife watches in confusion. Tom walks to the horse and raises one finger and says firmly, "That's one."
Tom then goes back to the buggy, climbs in next to his wife and they resume their journey home. A while later the horse trips, and stumbles again. Tom stops the buggy, climbs down, and walks to the horse. Raising two fingers, he says firmly, "That's two."
Now the wife is practically flabbergasted, but watches in silence as Tom resumes his seat beside her and they continue on their journey.
Of course, as these things will happen, the horse trips a third time, and stumbles. Tom stops the buggy, reaches in the back and grab his shot gun, climbs down from the buggy, walks to the horse and shoots it.
Now his wife is furious. "What one earth did you do that for? How are we supposed to get home now? And what about all my..."
Tom walks up to her calmly and lifts his hand one finger raised and says, "That's one."
