An elderly priest and a young Isaac

A thoughtful story. 

One day an elderly priest sat down in the canteen for a cup of fresh soup, which was all he could take, it being a Good Friday.
To his surprise he saw a catholic youth named Isaac enjoying a massive pile at eh next table.
Isaac: Father I trust I haven’t shock you?

Priest: ah; I take it that you forgot that today is a day of fast and abstinence.

Isaac: No, no. I remembered it so distinctly.

Priest: Then you must be sick. The doctor has forbidden you to fast.

Isaac: not at all I’m in the pink of health strong and kicking around.

At that, the priest gazed to heaven and said. “What an example this younger generation is to us, Almighty Father do you see how this young lad here would rather admit his sin, than tell a lie?”
