One priest suspected that his servant was stealing money from a begging bowl. So the servant came to confess, and the priest asked:
- Is it true that you steal money from the holy mug?
The servant says:
“You can’t hear anything from here.” What did you say?
The priest shouted:
- Is it true that you steal money from the holy mug?
Serving him again:
- What did you say? You can't hear anything from here.
The priest got angry and said:
- Let's switch places, I'll see if that's true. You go to the confessional, and I’ll come out.
The servant entered the confessional, and the priest stood at the window and said to him:
- Well, ask me, I’ll check if you can hear?
Then the servant asked him:
- Is it true that you live with our Saturnino’s sister?
And the priest answered:
“You really can’t hear anything here.”
