The Candle

The Goof Father met Mr. and Mrs. O’Conner in Dublin High Street. He gave a big smile and with his usual cheery greet, Beamed out “How are you both today, well and happy I pray.” Mrs. O’Conner responded sadly” On being happy I cannot say. We have been married for over four years and we have had no family yet. The good lord has not smiled down on us we regret.” The Good Father smiled and said,” Don’t worry, next week I am going to Rome, I will give you a blessing , light a candle, will ask the the good lord for your family to no longer postpone”. Four years later the Good Father met Mrs .O’Connner in Dublin High street walking on her own. He beamed out. “ Hello Mrs. O’Conner , hope you are well, have you any family yet sired?” Yes Father, I have had four sets of twins and feel so very tired.” The Good Father smiled and said ,”And where is Mr. O’Conner, I do not see.” Mrs O’Conner replied” He has gone to Rome to blow the dam candle out, Best thing don’t you agree?”
