A castaway is about to be rescued. Before leaving the desert island that's been his home for many years, he's giving his rescuer, a ship captain, a final tour of various grass huts he's constructed. "This one here is my sleeping-hut. And this one's my eating-hut. Over there is one I use for storage. And, do you see that one with the cross on top? That's where I go to church." "What's that other one," asks the captain, "the one that also has a cross on top?" "You would have to ask about that one. That's the church I used to go to." |
