- There was a priest there once and he had a servant boy. He was going to Mass one Sunday and his boy was with him. On the way he got a letter from the butcher and the meat bill in it. Paul was the butcher's name. The priest told the boy go and speak to the butcher and get meat from him for that day's dinner, while he would say mass. The boy returned to the chapel just as the sermon was going on, and as he entered the chapel he heard the priest say, "And what did Paul say?" The boy thought the priest was asking himself about the butcher and he screamed out from the door below. "He says, Father, that you will not get any more meat from him until you will pay for what you have already got".
