  1. Long ago when Our Lord was on this earth, he was travelling one day with a priest and they found a purse of gold. Our Lord told the priest to take it and to cast it into the river, and the told him where the river was. When he came back Our Lord asked him did he cast it into the river. He said he did but he kept some of the gold. Ever since that time priest are fond of money.
