Brother Mark arrives at the monastery..................

............... where he intends to devote his life to servitude to the Lord. When he arrives, he discovers that the other brothers are creating new books by copying from previous copies.

"So he asks Brother John, 'Do you ever proofread these copies against the original? How do you know that someone isn’t copying a mistake?'

"Brother John ponders this and decides, 'Alright, I’ll take one of the newest copies and compare it to the original text.'

"Off goes Brother John into the vault in the cellar where the original holy texts are kept. The day goes by and that night, he still hasn’t emerged from the vault. The brothers grow worried and Brother Mark goes downstairs to check on Brother John.

"As soon as he steps into the cellar, he can hear the faint sound of sobbing. He follows the sound until he finds Brother John sat with both the copy and original text in front of him. It is obvious that Brother John has been crying for some time.

"'Brother John!' Brother Mark says. 'What is the matter?'

"Brother John sobs again and exclaims, 'Oh my Lord! The word is CELEBRATE!'
All I ask is the chance to prove that money can't make me happy.

I know a monk who just used to keep scratching, scratching, scratching.
I told him it was a bad habit!

I asked the same monk, to stop scratching his face.
He wouldn't listen.
