A minister received a mail one morning. Drawing a single sheet of paper from an envelope, he found written on it only one word: "FOOL".

The next Sunday he announced, "I have known many people who have written letters and forgot to sign their name. But this week I received a letter from someone who signed his name and had forgotten to write a letter."

ある朝、牧師は手紙を受けとった。封筒の中に入っていた1枚の紙をとりだすと、そこにはたったひと言だけ書かれていた。「バカ」と。

次の日曜日、彼は説教のなかで知らせた。「手紙の中身は書いたのに名前を書き忘れてしまう人はたくさんいます。しかし今週、名前は書いたのに中身を書き忘れてしまった人から手紙を受けとりました」
