- Once a man was passing the priest's garden where the priest was working. He had his coat off and he left it on the gate. The man took the coat when the priest was not looking.
The next time he went to the confession he took the coat with him and gave it to the priest but the priest would not take it. The man said that he stole it from a man. I will not forgive your sins unless you give back the coat. The man said "The man whom I stole it from would not take it". "Well keep it yourself" said the priest.
