The farmer was in a hurry out to the other pigs and he said to the priest. "Pay me the price of my pig Sir" "Go down on your knees again" he said. He did so and when the priest had said a few more prayers over him, he told him to get up. He did so and in a few months time again he went to the priest and said "Pay me the price of my pig".
