- A funny story
Once at a mission in Tulsk confessions were being heard. A small boy came along and seeing the place crowded went back to the yard and began to amuse himself by standing on the top of his head.
An old woman passing in saw him and after confession she said to the priest: "For Gods sake Father, don't leave a penance on me like you left on the little boy outside."
