         Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?"
        Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the creature."
        Muldoon said, "I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?"
        Father Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?
       
       
        Muldoon一个人生活在爱尔兰的郊外，只有一只宠物狗跟他作伴。有一天，这只狗死了，Muldoon就跑去教区的神父那里，说，“神父，我的狗死了，你能为这可怜的小东西作个祷告吗？”
        Patrick神父回答道：“恐怕不行，我们教堂没有为宠物提供的服务；不过小巷那头有些浸信会的教友，也不知道他们是信什么的，他们可能会为这只小狗做些什么。”
        Muldoon说，“我马上就去，神父。你觉得为这项服务捐赠5000美元给他们足够了吗？”
        Patrick神父解释道，“圣母玛利亚啊！你怎么不说这只小狗信封天主教呢？”
