“Once upon a time there lived a very poor man. He had one cow.”
Once upon a time there lived a very poor man . He had a cow, but the amount of grass he had was unable to suppor ther . This man was a very good Catholic. One day as he was walking along the road he met a parson. The two of them began to talk to each other . After a while the man told the parson that he had not enough of grass to feed his cow .The parson told the man to come to his church and that he would give him land and grass for his cow. This the poor man did but he went also the the Catholic church. The parson then got to hear about this and he asked him why did he do this and the man replied and said , I go to your church for the good of my cow and I go to the Catholic church for the good of my soul
