The nuns had been getting very restless in the remote convent, and the mother Superior called a meeting to ask what was wrong. One of the young novices said boldly, "What we need are some men around here!" The Mother Superior was shocked, and another nun added, "It's only human nature." The Mother Superior thought for a moment, then said,"Alright, sisters, I'll issue extra candles. You can comfort yourselfs with them." "No, no," The nuns cried, "We've already tried those." The mother Superior was indignant. "They were good enought for me when i was young." "Still," Said the outspoken nun, "We get tired of the same thing, wick in and wick out." |
