五五 无神论者
为了让弟子高兴，大师要求一件新衬衫做为他的生日礼物。弟子们立刻买进上好布料。村里的裁缝也前来为大师量身，并且一再呼上主之名，保证一周之内一定做好。
一周期限已至。大师高兴地等着他的新衣，弟子快马加鞭地冲到裁缝店取衣。裁缝说：「事情受到一点延误，但是，因天主之名，明天保证做好。」
第二天，裁缝又说：「真抱歉，还没有赶好。明天你再来看看，如果天主愿意，明天一定会做好。」
次日，大师说：「你去问问他，如果天主不管这档子事，他需要多久才做得好？」
ATHEISM
To the disciples’ delight the Master said he wanted a new shirt for his birthday. The
finest cloth was bought. The village tailor came in to have the Master measured, and
promised, by the will of God to make the shirt within a week.
A week went by and a disciple was dispatched to the tailor while the Master excitedly
waited for his shirt, Said the tailor. “There has been a slight delay. But, by the will of
God, it will be ready by tomorrow.”
Next day the tailor said, “I’m sorry it isn’t done. Try again tomorrow and. if God so
wills, it will certainly be ready.”
The following day the Master said. “Ask him how long it will take if he keeps God out
of it.”
