  1. Humorous Story

    Share Share Post
    An old man went to confession once, taking with him his son to drive the donkey.
    When they reached the chapel gate the father went in leaving the boy outside.
    Going into the confessional he started thus: "In the name of the Father and of the Holy Ghost".
    "Where is the Son?" asked the priest. "He is outside minding the donkey Father" answered the old man.
