Hidden finds

A little note from the past


Poking around in some old stuff from my Mother's house, I found the following typed on a scrap of paper. It was in an envelope that my Grandmother Buckelew had stashed away to be found later.

Statement on story, (from this week's Ala Baptist. But I think you do not read it any more than I and this was too good to miss)

A priest offered 25 cents to the boy who could tell him who was the greatest man in history?

Christopher Columbus, answered the Italian boy.

George Washington, answered the American Lad.

St Patrick, shouted the Jewish boy.

The quarter is yours said the priest but why did you say St Patrick?

Father, right down in my heart I knew it was Moses said the Jewish boy but - business is business.

Have a great week everyone, If anyone wants this scrap of paper let me know, it's yours Also as a prize you will receive the envelope and some beautiful bird pictures at least 75 years old! GPB
