A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to
helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church, by
hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from
copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the Old
Abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in
the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be
continued in all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the
copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."
He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery
where the original manuscripts are held as archives, in a locked vault that
hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the Old
Abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for
him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing.
"We missed the R ! We missed the R !
We missed the bloody R !"
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying
uncontrollably.
The young monk asks the old Abbot, "What's wrong,
father?"
With a choking voice, the old Abbot replies,
"The word was ...
CELEBRATE!"
