- Once upon a time there was Rector who used to send his servant every Sunday to the butcher's stall. The mans name who was in the butchers stall was Paul. This Sunday the Rector sent the boy for meat, when he came back with the meat the Rector was at Service, and he was preaching '' what did Paul say ''. The servant who was at Service thought it was to him he was talking. So the servant stood up and said. He told you to go and pay for what you got before you would get any more.
