A young preacher was contacted by the local funeral director to hold a graveside committal service at a small local cemetery for someone with no family or friends. The preacher started early but quickly got himself lost,making several wrong turns.
He arrived a half-hour late. The hearse was nowhere in sight,and the workmen were eating lunch.
The pastor went to the open grave and found the vault lid was already in place. Taking out his book,he read the service.
As he was returning to his car,he overheard one of the workmen say,“Do you think we should tell him it’s a septic tank?”
殯葬管理員找到一個年輕的牧師,讓他在當?shù)氐囊粋€小型葬禮上進行祈禱。死者生前無家可歸,也沒有朋友。這個牧師一大早就出發(fā)了,但是很快就轉(zhuǎn)錯了方向,迷路了。
他遲到了半小時,而且也找不到靈柩,只看見一些工人在吃飯。
牧師走到打開的墓穴前,發(fā)現(xiàn)里面有一個拱形的蓋子。他掏出身邊帶著的書開始祈禱。
當他朝自己的車子走去的時候,聽到一個工人在說:“你覺得我們應(yīng)該告訴他這是一個化糞池嗎?”
