Ducking into confession with a turkey in his arms, Brian said, "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. I stole this turkey to feed my family. Would you take it and settle my guilt?"

布莱恩抱着一只火鸡,非常苦恼,他说:“原谅我,神父,我有罪。我偷来这只火鸡给我家人吃。你能告慰我的罪吗”

"Certainly not," said the Priest. "As penance, you must return it to the one from whom you stole it."

“当然不行,”神父说。“你必须把它还回去,这样才能赎罪。”

"I tried," Brian sobbed, "but he refused. Oh, Father, what should I do?"

“我试过了。”布莱恩抽泣着,“但是他拒绝了。神父,我到底该怎么办呢?”

"If what you say is true, then it is all right for you to keep it for your family."

“如果你说的是真的,那你就留着它吧。”

Thanking the Priest, Brian hurried off.

谢过了神父,布莱恩跑开了。

When confession was over, the Priest returned to his residence. When he walked into the kitchen, he found that someone had stolen his turkey.
