Artist History
About a century or two ago, the Pope decided that
all the Groggs had to leave Rome. Naturally there was
a big uproar from the Groggish community. So the
Pope made a deal. He would have a religious debate
with a member of the Groggish community. If the Grogg
won, the Groggs could stay. If the Pope won, the
Groggs would leave. The Groggs realized that they had
no choice. They looked around for a champion who
could defend their faith, but no one wanted to
volunteer. It was too risky.
So they finally picked an old man named Barry,
who spent his life sweeping up after people, to
represent them. Being old and poor, he had less to
lose, so he agreed. He asked only for one addition
to the debate. Not being used to saying very much
as he cleaned up around the settlement, he asked that
neither side be allowed to talk. The pope agreed.
The day of the great debate came. Barry and the
Pope sat opposite each other for a full minute
before the Pope raised his hand and showed three
fingers. Barry looked back at him and raised one
finger.
The Pope waved his fingers in a circle around his
head. Barry pointed to the ground where he sat.
The Pope pulled out a wafer and a glass of wine.
Barry pulled out an apple.
The Pope stood up and said, 'I give up. This man
is too good. The Groggs can stay.'
An hour later, the cardinals were all around the
Pope asking him what happened.
The Pope said: 'First I held up three fingers to
represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up
one finger to remind me that there was still one
God common to both our religions. Then I waved
my finger around me to show him, that God was
all around us. He responded by pointing to the
ground, showing that God was also right here
with us. I pulled out the wine and the wafer
to show that God absolves us from our sins.
He pulled out an apple to remind me of original
sin. He had an answer for everything. What
could I do?'
Meanwhile, the Groggish community had crowded around
Barry, amazed that this old, almost eeble-minded
man had done what all their scholars had insisted
was impossible!
'What happened?' they asked.
'Well,' said Barry, 'First he said to me that
the Groggs had three days to get out of here. I
told him that not one of us was leaving. Then he
told me that this whole city would be cleared of
Groggs. I let him know that we were staying right
here.'
'And then?' asked a woman.
'I don't know,' said Barry. 'He took out his
lunch and I took out mine.' |
