  1. A Fairy Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a clerk fell asleep inside in the Chapel when the door was locked. In the middle of the night he heard a noise that awakened him. When he looked up he saw a priest standing in front of him. The priest asked him would he serve his mass. He said nothing. He asked him again and he said he wouold. When Mass was over the priest asked him would he like to take him with him and he said he wouldn't. Then the priest dissapeared.
