Negotiation skill

 The top marketing director of Nescafe manages to arrange a
meeting with the Pope at the Vatican.

        After receiving the Papal blessing, the Nescafe official
whispers, 'Your Eminence, I have some business to discuss. We at
Nescafe have an offer for you. Nescafe is prepared to donate $100
million to the church. If you change the Lord's Prayer from 'give us
this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily coffee'."

        The Pope looks outraged and thunders, "That is impossible. The
Prayer is the word of the Lord, It must not be changed. " Well," says
the Nescafe man somewhat chastened, "We anticipated your reluctance.
For this reason, and the importance of the Lord's Prayer to all
Catholics, we will increase our offer to $300 million. All we require
is that you change the Lord's Prayer from 'Give us this day our daily
bread' to Give us this day our daily coffee'."

    Again, even more sternly, the Pope replies, "That, my son is
impossible. For the prayer is the word of the Lord and it must not be
changed."

    Finally, the Nescafe director says, "Your Holiness, we at Nescafe
respect your adherence to your faith, we realise that tradition is
essential to your beliefs, we fully understand the importance of the
word of the Lord ............. ....but we do have one final offer.
Please discuss it with your cardinals. We will donate $500 million to
the great Catholic church if you would only change the Lord's Prayer
from 'Give us this day our daily bread' to 'give us this day our daily
coffee'.  Please, please consider it."

    And he leaves.  The next day the Pope convenes the College of
Cardinals. "There is some Good news," he announces, "and some bad news
  ...... The good news is, he continues to a hushed assembly, ' that
the Church will get $ 500 million."

"And what is the bad news, your Holiness?" asks a Cardinal.
"Sadly" says the Pope,.
