Easter is approaching. Father O’Maley checks estimates for the flowerdecoration of the altar.The catholic florist – $ 300. “Too expensive” moans the priest.The protestant florist – $ 250, “No, it would not be right to buy atanother Christian believer, especially as the price difference is rather small.” But lo! Solly Goldberg – $ 75!!!Religion or economics? After much consideration, Solly obtains thecontract.On Easter Sunday morning, Goldberg’s men deliver the flowers: wonderfulroses, azaleas, camellias, tulips and carnations. O’Maley’s last reservations are discarded.When the parishioners arrive in the church, they see the magnificentflower arrangement and a ribbon with the inscription:”Jesus has risen! But the prices of Goldberg always stay the same.”
