Book content

...Now here's another story for you. One day Brother Jodar was returning to the monastery from the village fair, where he had spent a week carousing. His head buzzed from all the mead he drank, his belly was stuffed to the brim, and the road ahead was long indeed.

The snaking path led him to a dark forest. As unperturbed as ever, Brother Jodar marched ahead, whistling a jolly tune. All of a sudden, a burly lad stepped out from the treeline, brandishing a nasty-looking club.

Brother Jodar grabbed his staff tightly, took a step back, and began speaking:

"Well hello! Didn't expect to run into another clueless vagabond like me at this hour!"

The lad gawked in confusion, but before he could say something, Brother Jodar proceeded with his speech:

"The name's Brother Jodar, and I am a monk. I bring the word and blessing of the Host to the wronged and deprived. If you kneel right now, I'll bless you as well."

The lad hesitated, but Brother Jodar looked at him with such fatherly kindness, that he gave in. The moment he got on his knees, the monk raised his staff... and smacked the villain on the back of his head! The thug tried to avoid it, but to no avail - Brother Jodar had the combat prowess of seven men. Nursing his wound, the thug reached for the club but instead got smacked again - there was nothing for him to do but to make a run for it, cowering from hits.

"Take this, and that!.. Where are you going? I only gave you a blessing for good health... How about one more for good fortune?.. Or maybe a blessing for a happy marriage?"
