The Story of Two Brothers
Published Dec 17, 2003
The priest was instructing a class of third-graders at All Saints grammar school.
"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 lawyer.
"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?"
Herman raised his hand and said, "Easy. One of them got caught."
