  1. Once upon a time, there was a station in a country house. The priest's servant boy and the servant boy of the station house began to fight. The priest's clerk was trying to seperate them. He said to the priest's servant boy not to be fighting this morning, that he was in the state of grace. Well said the priests boy. Iam in the state of grace now but I wont be in the state of grace always
