The family sat down at the table. Everyone looked at the priest and thought that now he prays before eating. But the priest said:

- The father of the family to pray at the table, because he was the first prayer in the family. There was an unpleasant silence, because in this family no one prayed. Father cleared his throat and said, "You know, dear Father, we do not pray because prayer before a meal is always repeated the same thing. Prayers of habit - this twaddle. These repetitions every day, every year, so we do not pray.

The priest stared at all, but then seven year old girl said: - Dad, I do not need every morning to come to you and say "good morning"?
