| Last year in France, Jacque went to his local priest and confessed: "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. During the Second world War, I hid a Jewish man in my attic." "That's not a sin,'' said the priest. "It was an act of great kindness." "But I made him agree to pay me 30 francs for every week he stayed. "I admit that wasn't particularly charitable," said the priest, "but you did it for a good cause." "Thank you, Father," said the man. "That's a great relief to me. I have just one more question." "What's that?'' "Do I have to tell him the war is over?'' |
