Now ... Run!
IllustrationStory★★★★A priest was walking down a street when he saw a little boy jumping up and down trying to reach a doorbell. So the priest walked over and pressed the button for the youngster. “And now what, my little man?” he asked. “Now,” said the boy, “run!”
The point
A priest's act of kindness is immediately exploited by the boy's prank; good intentions can be abused. Naive generosity has consequences.
