A nun and a priest were stranded deep in the desert after their camel collapsed and died.<\/p>\n
They had no vehicle, no food, very little water, and almost no hope of rescue.<\/p>\n
For the first day, they tried to stay positive.<\/p>\n
The priest kept searching the horizon.<\/p>\n
The nun carefully rationed their remaining water.<\/p>\n
They walked whenever the heat became bearable and rested whenever the sun became too intense.<\/p>\n
But the desert seemed endless.<\/p>\n
By the fourth day, exhaustion had taken over.<\/p>\n
Their lips were dry.<\/p>\n
Their clothes were covered in dust.<\/p>\n
Their water supply was almost gone.<\/p>\n
That evening, as the sun disappeared behind the dunes, the priest sat beside the dying fire and sighed.<\/p>\n
\u201cSister…\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun looked at him.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we need to be honest with each other.\u201d<\/p>\n
She nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest stared into the darkness.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe may not make it out of here alive.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun lowered her head.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’ve been praying for a miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSo have I,\u201d the priest replied.<\/p>\n
They sat in silence for several minutes.<\/p>\n
Then the priest hesitantly cleared his throat.<\/p>\n
\u201cSister?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Father?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is something I’ve always wondered.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is it?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest looked embarrassed.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore we die… may I see your chest?\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun stared at him in surprise.<\/p>\n
She hadn’t expected such a question.<\/p>\n
But after everything they’d been through, she calmly agreed.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it makes you feel better, Father.\u201d<\/p>\n
She briefly showed him.<\/p>\n
The priest looked for a moment, then respectfully looked away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun folded her arms.<\/p>\n
\u201cFather, may I ask you something in return?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I see your manhood?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest’s face immediately turned red.<\/p>\n
But curiosity got the better of him.<\/p>\n
\u201cVery well.\u201d<\/p>\n
He agreed.<\/p>\n
After examining him for a moment, the nun suddenly became thoughtful.<\/p>\n
The priest looked at her nervously.<\/p>\n
\u201cSister… I think I’ve discovered something important.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
He pointed toward himself.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf this is put in the right place…\u201d<\/p>\n
He paused.<\/p>\n
\u201c…it can give life.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun stared at him.<\/p>\n
For several seconds, she said nothing.<\/p>\n
Then her eyes suddenly widened.<\/p>\n
Her face lit up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we’re saved!\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest blinked.<\/p>\n
\u201cSaved?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow?\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun excitedly pointed toward their dead camel.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou said it can give life if it’s put in the right place!\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n
She smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen put it in the right place and make us another camel!\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest froze.<\/p>\n
The nun stared at him.<\/p>\n
He stared at her.<\/p>\n
The desert suddenly became very quiet.<\/p>\n
Finally, the priest covered his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cSister…\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI was talking about farming.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cFarming?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looked at the dead camel.<\/p>\n
Then back at him.<\/p>\n
Then she burst out laughing.<\/p>\n
The priest couldn’t help himself and started laughing too.<\/p>\n
For the first time in four days, they forgot about the heat, the thirst, and the fear.<\/p>\n
After a few moments, the nun wiped her eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we’ve been walking across the desert because neither of us understood what the other meant?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cApparently.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then the nun suddenly stopped.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait.\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest looked at her.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
She pointed toward the horizon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere!\u201d<\/p>\n
A tiny shape was moving in the distance.<\/p>\n
The priest stood immediately.<\/p>\n
It was a vehicle.<\/p>\n
A rescue truck.<\/p>\n
They both began waving and shouting.<\/p>\n
The vehicle changed direction and headed toward them.<\/p>\n
When the rescuers finally reached them, one of the men jumped out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you both all right?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are now.\u201d<\/p>\n
The rescuer looked at the dead camel.<\/p>\n
Then at the two exhausted travelers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n
The priest glanced at the nun.<\/p>\n
The nun glanced back at him.<\/p>\n
Then they both started laughing.<\/p>\n
The rescuer looked completely confused.<\/p>\n
The priest finally shook his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s a very long story.\u201d<\/p>\n
The nun smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd definitely not the kind we should tell at church.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
