    One fine day a priest went out for a walk in a park. When he was tired walking he sat down on a seat to rest. He got tired sitting down and he tried to get up. He was a big stout man and it was hard for him to get up.
    A little girl stood nearby and ran over to help the priest to get up. The little girl said, "May I help you to get up Sir," the priest said, "I am too heavy for you to lift. The little girl said, "Oh, but I am able to lift you, I often helped my daddy when he was much drunker than you are.
