    The watch

    The priest arrived in the village and went to the church to hear confessions. As was his custom he left his watch on one of the pews. After a little while a young man came in to confess his sins.
    Father, forgive me, I have stolen a watch.
    Well, young man, said the priest, don't just say you are sorry, but give the watch back to the owner.
    Oh, said the sinner, let me give you the watch, Father.
    No, said the priest. Don't give it to me. Give it to the owner.
    But, Father, I've offered it to the owner and he doesn't want to take it back, said the young man.
    Well, in that case, I've give you absolution for the stealing, but you can keep the watch. The priest gave the young man forgiveness. Later, however, when the priest left the church he was surprised to discover that his watch had been stolen.
