    There lived two priests in a parish, an uncle and nephew. The uncle was very fond of smoking but the nephew never smoked. One day the nephew sent a little boy for some tobacco. When the boy got the tobacco he gave it to the uncle. Next day the nephew met the little boy and asked him for the tobacco. "I gave to tobacco to your father", says the young boy very innocently.
