A Fable

Jesus was skeptical of his tribe, as a trainee carpenter so lousy couldn`t even make a bookshelf, they kidded him for that and Jesus took umbrage and criticized the priests who served the Romans. He took to hanging out with a group of radicals of the day and since he was good with words, became their leader. They had groupies too, one of them was Magdalena and Jesus took a shine to her without saying so, but them all knew from the way he looked at her. Being admired by his flock, Jesus thought he could take on the establishment, like when he chased money lenders out of the temple; he was wrong. When the Romans mocked him and crowded him a king, he thought the people would come to save him, no such a thing happened, he was strung up (Crucified). The women came to his rescue, healed his wounds and sent him to France where he took the name of Pierre, married Magdalena had seven children and was a much-respected Goldsmith
