A senior Priest who was assigned to celebrate Mass in the neighbouring convent was not too happy to go there... and not so without a reason. The Sisters there provided nothing more than a cup of tea after Mass. In order to see if he could get them to provide at least something more than just a cup of tea, he took along with him a packet of biscuits the following day. After Mass when the Sisters offered their usual cup of tea, he pulled out from his pocket this pack of biscuits, and had his so-called breakfast - all in full view of the Sisters. The next day he was certain the Sisters would have picked the cue. Well, imagine his surprise, when the next day he found beside the cup of tea a small plate, all but empty. He began to sip his tea waiting for the 'new addition' to arrive. But even after finishing the cup of tea nothing arrived, he asked what the small plate was for. "For you to place your biscuits, dear Fr," was the sincere reply!
