Some friars were behind in their belfry payments, so they opened a small
florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers
from the men of God, the rival florist across town thought the
competition was unfair.
He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went
back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his
mother to go ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her.
So, the rival florist hired Hugh Mac Taggart, the roughest and most
vicious thug in town to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat up the
friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close
shop. Terrified, the friars did so.
The Moral of the Story:
Hugh, and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars !!
