The number of children attending Sunday School had dropped dramatically and it was thought that perhaps the lessons had become too serious.
As it happened, a visiting Minister had come to stay and the vicar asked him if he would mind speaking to the children a bit more informally.
“Of course,” replied the Minister and he sat with the children in a circle saying “First of all, children, can you tell me what eats grass, goes moo, and gives us milk?”
For a moment, there was complete silence and then one small boy slowly put his hand up.
“Please Sir, I suppose the answer is Jesus but it sounds just like a cow to me.”
