the first race, he observed something interesting. He noticed a Catholic priest, who blessed a horse. The horse has won it without special effort. This happened four times. The fifth time he has
the again observed. Then he said to himself: "That's not a contest. This is a very sure thing. I'll put my money on this horse now and donate the money taken in my town in Texas. "
The priest has blessed again this horse. The man from Texas, put his money on this magnificent animal. - Then ran the horse go at the top of the row. Suddenly, half the distance it had already made successful because it was foaming at the mouth! It reacted stubborn, fell and died heart failure!
The man from Texas went to the Catholic priest: "What happened in this fifth race? You have blessed the horse but four times and had always won! Then have it blessed for the fifth time and it fell over dead, "
The priest looked at the man from Texas to skeptical:"! you are probably not a Catholic - He admitted: "No, I am a Baptist from Texas" -! To which the astonished priest, "If they were Catholic, then you would know the difference between a blessing and an extreme unction"
