A new young monk arrives at the monastery and as

with all new monks

he

is assigned to help the other monks in copying the

old canons and

laws

of the church by hand.

He notices, however, that all of the monks are

copying from copies,

not

from the original manuscript.

So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question

this, pointing

out

that if someone made even a small error in the first

copy, it would

never be picked up.

In fact, that error would be continued in all of the

subsequent

copies.

The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the

copies for

centuries, but you make a good point, my son."

So, he goes down into the dark caves underneath the

monastery where

the

original manuscript is held as archives in a locked

vault that hasn't

been opened for hundreds of years.

Hours go by and

nobody sees the old abbot.

So, the young monk gets worried and goes downstairs

to look for him.

He sees him banging his head against the wall, and

wailing, "We

forgot

the "R", we forgot the "R" His forehead is all

bloody and bruised and

he is crying uncontrollably.

The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong,

father?"

With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The

word is celebrate."

The word is celebrate."!!!!!!!!!!!!!

;) ;) ;)
