Five years after Mary thanked the priest, he is surprised by a knock on his door. It is Mary’s husband, Robert. “I’m so glad I found you!” he says. “Remember the light you lit for Mary years ago? Mary and I now have two sets of twins, a pair of triplets, and she is pregnant with quadruplets!”
Robert then gives the priest an all-expense-paid trip to Rome. “Oh my, Robert!” exclaims the priest. “Your delight brings me joy. You did not need to send me a thank-you present.”
“Oh no, it’s not a thank you,” Robert says. “It’s so you can blow out that damn candle.”
