            Farther Bertrand sits down next to Muzzy. It is warm summer's day and Muzzy is checking the tire of his bicycle.
      Muzzy is 18 and attending Cambridge Catholic High. His tire is flat. "Got a patch?" Fr. Bertrand asks.
      "I'm checking." Muzzy rummages through his fanny pouch. "Muzzy. I'd like to take this moment to ask you an important question."
      the Priest lights up a ciggaret. Muzzy has found a patch. He glues it. Then, sits beside Farther Bertand, "Whts-up?"
      "Have you considered the Priesthood?" the Priest blows out smoke. Muzzy looks confused.
      "There is a need for yougn men in the Church clergy." the Priest takes another drag. "Welllll.. I like sex.. and Priest are lonely."
      Muzzy smiles at Farther Bertrand. "Yes. There is a lot of confusion about the Priesthood and sex." Fr. Bertrand puts out his
      ciggaret on the stone wall they are sitting on.

            "Muzzy. Sex is a sacrament, but the sacrament of the Priesthood is a higher calling. A Priest is Jesus' celebrant in the Mass
      and community." Fr. Bertrand lit up another ciggaret, "Do you want to have a special vocation?"
      "I don't. I just do not care to be cellibate." Muzzy starts pumping up his tire.
      "A Priest can hold the keys to Heaven. Are you sure your not intrested?" Farther Bertrand looks at Muzzy seriously.
      Muzzy pumps faster; "Oh-yeah. I'm sure."

            Farther Bertrand slaps Muzzy on the shoulder as he stands over him, "The Devil is most dangerous, when he is pleasant."
      The Priests walks back up the stone steps into the highschool. Muzzy rings the bell on his bicycle handle and waves to him
      and rides off.+
