| Early one morning a Priest heard a noise outside his door. When he opened it, he saw a donkey fall over dead. Not knowing what to do about the situation, he called the local magistrate and related what had just happened. The magistrate couldn't resist jabbing at the Priest and said, "Father, I thought the first duty of a Priest was to bury the dead." Without any hesitation, the Priest said, "No, the first duty of a Priest is to notify next of kin." |
