Sister Mary was very happy
to receive a letter from home that included a ten dollar bill. As it happened, when she received the letter, she looked out the convent window and saw a shabbily dressed man standing on the corner. She made a decision right then. She wrote on a piece of paper, "Don't despair, Sister Mary," and wrapped the paper with the ten dollar bill and threw it out the window.
The stranger picked up the paper, with a puzzled look on his face, tipped his hat walked off down the street.
The next day Sister Mary was told a man was at the door wanting to see her. She went to the door and the stranger from the other day was standing there. Without a word he handed her a roll of bills. What's this the Sister asked?
The stranger said, "That's the 60 bucks you have coming. Don't Despair paid five to one."
