Easter is approaching. Father O’Maley
checks estimates for the flower
decoration of the altar.
The
catholic florist – $ 300. “Too expensive” moans the priest.
The
protestant florist – $ 250, “No, it would not be right to buy at
another
Christian believer, especially as the price difference is
rather
small.” But lo! Solly Goldberg – $ 75!!!
Religion or economics? After
much consideration, Solly obtains the
contract.
On Easter Sunday
morning, Goldberg’s men deliver the flowers:
wonderful
roses,
azaleas, camellias, tulips and carnations. O’Maley’s last
reservations are discarded.
When the parishioners arrive in the church, they
see the magnificent
flower arrangement and a ribbon with the
inscription:
“Jesus has risen! But the prices of Goldberg always stay the
same.”
