The Key of the Monastery
This is about a foreigner and a priest that s/he was acquainted with. Once
upon a time, this foreigner of dubious morals lived near the priest's monasery.
The priest had great treasure, which the foreigner covetted. S/he began working
there as a fake guard. One day, the foreigner stopped the priest as he returned
and said to him, "Give me the key." But it had been hidden so that it would not
be found. He replied, "I don't have the key." The foreigner guard was very
angry, so the priest escaped through a closed, hidden door.
The end. |
