A Helping Hand

    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 boy’s 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 ring.  Crouching down to the child’s level, the priest smiles benevolently and asks, “And now what, my little man?”
