“One fine Sunday a crowd of people gathered together at a crossroads and they began to dance.”
One fine Sunday a crowd of people gathered together at a cross-roads and they began to dance.
They had a blind man playing a fiddle. The people saw a priest coming and the crowd began to scatter and at last the blind man was left alone.
The priest came up to him and said "Do you know the Our Father"? "No" says the fiddler "whistle a bit of it for me."
