The number of children attending Sunday School had
dropped dramatically and it was thought that perhaps the
lessons had become too serious. As it so happened, a visiting
Minister had come to stay and the vicar asked him if he
would mind speaking to the children a bit more informally.
“Of course,” replied the Minister and he sat with the
children in a circle saying “First of all, children, can you tell
me what eats grass, goes moo, and gives us milk?”
For a moment, there was complete silence and then one
small boy slowly put his hand up.
“Please Sir, I suppose the answer is Jesus but it sounds just
like a cow to me.”
