  1. There was once a farmer who was married. His wife stole a goat. She went to Confession, and told the priest that she stole a goat. The priest asked her would she pay him back for it or would she give it back. He told her to go out and make up her mind which she would do.
    Then a little boy went in and he asked him about the goat. He ran out and said "Go in there which ever of you stole the goat and don't get me blamed for it.
