This was too much for the Bishop, so he ordered the Pastor to get Rid of the donkey. The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline The next day: NUN HAS BEST A$$ IN TOWN. The Bishop fainted.

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back The donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER A$$ IS WILD AND FREE. The bishop had a heart attack and died!
