| God's wrath When David and me were children we discovered joys of silly children things... To exert our imbecilities we liked H�r�mence's church because there are many rooms in it, it's gigantic, the noises resound and there are only old ladies and sisters. It was for us a mystery... Most of the time we had fun by causing false miracles... We hid us in the balcony behind the barrier of concrete and the plants, with a wire of nylon, we held up a of the Virgin Mary's statuette above the old gossips' heads. After that, David spoke very loud like a ghost... We laughed a lot when devout women left the church while running and screaming very frightened. Then we went in the sacristy to steal osties, it didn't taste as good as we hoped... So David found a bottle of mass wine. He swallowed a sip and said it was ok, then I had the rest in one gulp. It was really a bad joke, I spat all out because it tasted like vinegar. But we had other ideas... We were pretending praying and when nuns were all gone we ran under the wooden banks to collect small change. With the monney we went in the shop under the church and bought a lot of sweets... But one day the priest discovered our stratagem, he scold us a lot and he said : "God is very angry to see your bad things in His home. If you don't want to go to hell never start again ! ". Since that day, we did our stupidities out of the church only. |
