A young nun had just joined a monastery. She was kind, devoted\u2026 and incredibly curious.<\/p>\n
One afternoon she approached the head priest and asked,
\n\u201cFather, I have a question.\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest smiled. \u201cOf course, Sister.\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed to a *small locked wooden box* sitting on a shelf in the hallway.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather\u2026 what is inside that box?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest replied calmly,
\n\u201cThat is a secret known only to priests.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun nodded politely, but curiosity started eating at her.<\/p>\n
The next day she asked again.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather\u2026 please tell me what\u2019s inside the box.\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest shook his head.
\n\u201cYou cannot know. You are a nun.\u201d<\/p>\n
Days passed. Weeks passed.<\/p>\n
Finally, one evening she asked again with determination.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather, curiosity is driving me crazy. Why can\u2019t nuns know what\u2019s inside the box?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest thought for a moment and said,<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, Sister. I will give you a chance.\u201d<\/p>\n
He placed the box on the table.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you can guess what\u2019s inside the box\u2026 I will let you see it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun thought deeply.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it money?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA sacred document?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA holy relic?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
After many guesses she finally gave up.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather, I have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest smiled and opened the box.<\/p>\n
Inside was *a mirror*.<\/p>\n
The nun looked confused.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather\u2026 it\u2019s just a mirror.\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Sister. The secret is simple.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest said,<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever someone becomes *too curious about things they shouldn\u2019t know\u2026 they should first look at themselves.*\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun looked at the mirror again, then laughed and said,<\/p>\n
\u201cFather\u2026 now I understand.\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest asked,<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat did you learn?\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun grinned and replied,<\/p>\n
\u201cI learned that *if curiosity keeps growing, next time I\u2019ll bring a screwdriver instead of questions.*\u201d \ud83d\ude04<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A young nun had just joined a monastery.
