One of the true stories told concerning the sinking of the Titanic tells how a
woman was told she could have three minutes to return to her cabin and retrieve some of
her priceless valuables. She came back not with money, or jewels but with three oranges.
Death had boarded the ship and, suddenly, oranges became more valuable than diamonds
and riches.
Another stewardship story fits: A poor woman applied to the sultan of Turkey and asked for compensation for the loss of her property. "How did you lose it?" he inquired. "I fell asleep and robbers came and stole it." "But why did you fall asleep?" he queried. "I fell asleep because I believed that you were awake," was the astonishing reply. The sultan was pleased with her trust and returned her goods.
