肯德基的一位消售代表去见教皇。愿意出资100万美元,将主祷文从“赐予我们这一天,给我们所需的面包”改为“赐予我们这一天,给我们所需的鸡”。
教皇回答说:“我绝对禁止这样做。主祷文必须保持原样。”
销售代表有点沮丧。将报价提高到1千万美元。但教皇依然不为所动。
然后,销售代表说:“这样吧。我会给你1亿美元。这是我最终的报价。”
第二天,教皇出席在梵蒂冈举行的教会会议。
他在会议开始时说:“我有一个好消息和一个坏消息。好消息是,我们得到了一个新赞助商,肯德基。坏消息是,我们失去了金斯米尔面包的赞助。”
注:肯德基(Kentucky Fried Chicken,简称KFC)是美国著名的炸鸡连锁餐厅,成立于1952年。金斯米尔面包(Kingsmill Bread)是英国老牌的食品厂商,成立于1921年。
原文: The Church's Sponsor
A representative from Kentucky Fried Chicken goes to the Pope,and offers him $1,000,000 to change the Lord's Prayer from “Give Us This Day,Our Daily Bread。” to “Give Us This Day,Our Daily Chicken。”
The Pope replies:“I absolutely forbid that。The Lord's Prayer must be kept the way it is。”
Slightly frustrated,the representative increases his offer to $10,000,000,however,the Pope continues to refuse。
Then,the representative says:“Right,I'll pay you $100,000,000 and that is my final offer。”
The next day,the Pope attends a church meeting in the Vatican。
He opens the meeting by saying:“I have good news and bad news。The good news is,we've got a new sponsorship from KFC。The bad news is,we're losing the Kingsmill Bread sponsor。”
