The priest was instructing a class of third-graders at All
Saints grammar school. He said, "There were two brothers,
and one of them chose the wicked path of Satan. The brother
was evil and corrupt and did great damage to many people,
and wound up a convicted criminal in a tiny, dark cell. But,
the other brother studied hard and became a great, rich,
knowledgeable politician. Now, children, what is the
difference between these two brothers, who started out in
the same place, who together embarked upon life's stormy
seas?"
Little Johnny raised his hand and said,
"Easy. One of them got caught."
