Abbot Franklin who had been the owner of a very luxuries life was very regular on his lectures and instruction to his young monks.
He used to say: “You must be obedient –except of course the abbot; you must be humble and docile – except of course the abbot; you must practice poverty and should not spent money – except of course the abbot; you must observe silence – except of course the abbot;” He would go on in that strain and always concluded his sermon with “and thus you will all become good monks and reach heaven.”

Special of the Day
A man enters a cafe and sits down. He notices that the special of the day is chilly.
When the waitress comes to take his order he says, "I would like a bowl of chilly."
"I'm sorry, the gentleman next to you got the last bowl," says the waitress.
"I'll just have coffee then," the man says.
After a while, he notices that the guy next to him is finishing a rather large meal and the chilly is still there.
So, he asks, "Are you going to eat that bowl of chilly?" The other man replies, "No."
"Would you sell it to me?"
"No, but you can have it for free."
So he takes the bowl of chilly and begins to eat it. When he gets about half way through the bowl, he notices a dead fly in the bowl and pukes the chilly back into the bowl.
The other man says, "That's just what I did too."
