  1. 5. A woman once got up in the middle of the night to go to mass. She had no clock so she did not know what time it was. The moon was shining brightly and she thought it was daylight.
    She hurried quickly until she reached the church. Then she saw the priest walking up and down by it. She asked him was she in time for mass. His reply was "Go home and go to bed because it is time for the living to be asleep and the dead to wander"
