Priest gets tiny statue from folded hand

Some guys who assemble in a funeral house engaged in conversation. Among them one person revealed a fantastic story. The way he narrated the story every body appeared to believe what he had told them.

The story as follows:

A new temple was built in a remote village and the people thronged to that temple to worship. There are poojas for 24 hours specially a priest is used to have a cow in his pooja.People stand in front of him to watch the performance of his cow pooja.He keeps his right hand folded and everyone to surprise there will be a tiny statue in his hand he gives this to a person who stands in front of him with a request to keep his safely in his pooja room in his house. He says these tiny statues will bring good luck to them.

But if someone asks to take another tiny statue he says only 1 for a day. How is this? This is the way most of the priest play trick on innocent people to make their temple popular.
