A man on the bridge.

One day, a man was walking and he saw another man on the bridge. He guessed that the other man wanted to jump. From far he yelled, 'hey there, wait! don't jump. Talk to me will ya.' The other man was stopped just in time.

'What seems to be the problem? What is so serious that you contemplating suicide? Come down and we talk, okay' said the man. The other man just stood there and stared at the man. After a while, he backed off towards safety.

The other man thought he found salvation. Maybe he was lucky.

They talked. It seems that the other man had lost everything. His business went kaput. His wife left him for another man, with his children tagging along. His friends suddenly can't be reached by phone. He had to give his house and car key to the bank.

'I have nothing. All that I had built disappeared.'

With that, both men jumped and they died.
