(单词翻译:单击)
A priest is walking down the street one day when he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street.
However, the boy is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach.
After watching the boy's efforts for some time, the priest moves closer to his position.
He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand
kindly1 on the child's shoulder, leans over and gives the doorbell a sold ring.
To which the boy replies, "Now we run!"
