    There was once a farmer's wife who was a thief. She stole a pig with a rope round his neck. She told the Parish Priest one day in Confession that she stole a rope. The priest said "Well a rope is not much and you needn't give it back but pray for him.
    She tricked the priest because she stole the rope and there was a pig on the other end of it.
