Every time a new pope is chosen, a tradition occurs, which no one understands or even remembers where it came from. The pope will be seated, and the High Rabbi will come in, holding a large wooden box, which he then proceeds to present to the Pope. The Pope then waves it away, with apparant uncaring.
This tradition is very old, dating back millenia. Never has it not been honoured.
However, the one Pope, who's name will be withheld, was overly curious. He followed tradition, to a tee, as the High Rabbi came in, and presented the box. The Pope dissmissed it, and waved him away, but as the High Rabbi was walking away, the Pope called "Wait, I have a question for you.". The High Rabbi turned around, and waited. After a moment, the Pope asked, "What is in that box. I have been told of the ancient tradition, but I do not understand the significance of it. Do you know?" The High Rabbi answered, telling the Pope that he, too, did not know what was in the box, and that he was curious to find out. The Pope then invited the High Rabbi to visit that night and they would have some wine, and supper, and afterwards, open the box.
Later that night, after they had dined, and drunk their wine, they receded into the Pope's private chambers, and cautiously examined the box. The box was ancient, and made of a hard ebony-like wood, and had two latches at each side. Slowly, the Pope and High Rabbi reached forward, and opened one latch each. Carefully, the lifted the lid off, and placed it to the side, coughing through a cloud of dust that had risen from the box.
Peering inside, they saw, through the dust, a wrinkled, brown, and obviously ancient, envelope. They glanced at each other, hesitantly, before lifting it out, with utmost caution. They opened the latch of the envelope, which was not attached to the body. They slipped the paper in the envelope out, and unfolded it slowly.
The High Rabbi recognized the language of the writing on the paper, which was written in Hebrew. He quickly read the paper over, and then his eyes widened, in shock.
Inside the evelope inside the ancient box was...
