3) The Priest and the Little Boy

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a
modest home near a junior high school.

He spent the first few weeks of his retirement
in peace and contentment. Then a new school
year began…

The very next afternoon three young boys, full of
youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his
street, beating merrily on every trash can they
encountered. The crashing percussion continued
day after day, until finally the wise old man decided
it was time to take some action.

The following afternoon, he walked out to meet the
young percussionists as they banged their way
down the street. Stopping them, he said, “You kids
are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your
exuberance like that. Used to do the same thing
when I was your age. Will you do me a favor?
I’ll give you each a dollar if you’ll promise to come
around every day and do your thing.”

The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up
job on the trash cans.

After a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again,
but this time he had a sad smile on his face.

“This recession is really putting a big dent in my income,”
he told them. “From now on, I’ll only be able to pay
you 50 cents to beat on the cans.”

The noisemakers were obviously displeased, but they
did accept his offer and continued their afternoon ruckus.

A few days later, the wily retiree approached them
again as they drummed their way down the street.
“Look,” he said, “I haven’t received my Social Security
check yet, so I’m not going to be able to give you more
than 25 cents. Will that be okay?”

“A lousy quarter?” the drum leader exclaimed. “If you
think we’re going to waste our time, beating these cans
around for a quarter, you’re nuts! No way, mister.
We quit!”

And the old man enjoyed peace and serenity for the
rest of his days.

A priest is walking down the street one day
when he notices a very small boy trying to
press a doorbell on a house across the street.

However, the boy is very small and the
doorbell is too high for him to reach.

After watching the boys efforts for some time,
the priest moves closer to the boy’s position.

He steps smartly across the street, walks up
behind the little fellow and, placing his hand
kindly on the child’s shoulder leans over and
gives the doorbell a solid ring.

Crouching down to the child’s level, the priest
smiles benevolently and asks,

“And now what, my little man?”

To which the boy replies,

“Now we run!”
