A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the
other
monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not
from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot
to
question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in
the
first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be
continued in all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for
centuries,
but you make a good point, my son."
He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery
where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked
vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go
by and nobody sees the old abbot.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees
him
banging his head against the wall and wailing,
"We missed the "R" ! , we missed the "R" !"
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying
uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong,
father?"
With A choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was...
"CELEBRATE"!!!
