- Long ago a priest met a boy on the road, he asked him his name and where he lived, the boy told him. The priest said "I never saw you at Mass or at school". The priest asked "When did Our Lord die" and the boy did not know. The priest then went to the boy's house and knocked at the door. It was opened by the boy's mother. The priest said to her "I met this little boy down the road and I asked him when did Our Lord die, he did not know".
The mother replied "wisha for God's sake father, Is he dead?".
