  1. A priest had been reading Mass in a country house one morning. He ate his breakfast with the boy who had served Mass. When he was finished his breakfast he said the Grace after meals.
    He asked the boy did he say his and the boy said he did not know them. The priest ask him "What does your mother say after meals?"
    She says, "Thanks to be God and his Blessed Mother. If I didn't eat enought, I ate as much as another", Said the boy.
