There was a
group of boys who believed that they could play a trick on a Born Again Pastor.
During one of the Christmas Seasons, which were noted for doling out gifts to
the disadvantaged or incapacitated members of the society, the 3 boys hatched a
plan; pretending to be deaf and dumb, they approached the Pastor and members of
his family on the Boxing Day to ask for alms.

As they
entered the Vicarage, they made gesticulations and signs to the Pastor to
indicate that they were deaf and dumb. The Pastor signaled to them to sit down
on the upholstery chairs as he collected the envelopes with inscriptions “HELP
THE DEAF TO LIVE WELL” printed on them from each of the boys. Minutes later,
the Pastor invited the boys to have lunch with him on the dining table. As they
stood up and made for the dinning section of the living room, the Pastor
brought 5 pieces of coins from his pocket and threw them on the ceramic tiled
floor. Jus then, by sheer instinct, the boys turned round in the direction of
the sound produced by the coins. The Pastor concluded there and then that the
boys were not deaf.

After
dropping the telephone receiver, he moved to the dining table to join the boys
