Saint in training
Sitting by the window of her convent, Sister Barbara opened a letter from home
one evening. Inside the letter was a $100 bill her parents had sent. Sister
Barbara smiled at the gesture. As she read the letter by the window, she noticed
a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against the lamppost below. Quickly, she
wrote, "Don't despair. Sister Barbara," on a piece of paper, wrapped the $100
bill in it, got the man's attention and tossed it out the window to him. The
stranger picked it up, and with a puzzled expression and a tip of his hat, went
off down the street. The next day, Sister Barbara was told that a man was at
her door, insisting on seeing her. She went down, and found the stranger waiting. Without a word, he handed her a huge wad of $100 bills. What's this?" She asked.
"That's the $8,000 you have coming Sister," he replied. "Don't Despair" paid
80-to-1."
