MISSION IS FUN

A Strange Supper

A BROTHER prepared a soup for the two priests who were coming back from visiting the communities in the outstations. As they delayed, he went to visit a family for a chat. Meanwhile, the two priests came back, tired from the trip, got the first pot they found in the kitchen, took their supper and went to bed.

The following morning, the brother asked them why they had not taken their supper, but they insisted they had. “But the soup is still in its pot. What you have eaten, instead, is the dog’s super,” the brother said. “That is why the supper we took had a strange flavour!”
