Pastor loses money in quest for ‘higher powers’

One thing that Pastor John craved for was fame and limelight. He was a simple village preacher hardly known beyond the confines of his sleepy village. When a close friend of his joined politics during last year’s General Election, he garnered an enviable position, becoming popular overnight as he hogged the limelight with his party honchos.

Pastor John approached his politician friend and discreetly sought to know the source of his sudden fame. The friend at first was guarded but seeing the man of cloth as trustworthy, he confided in him. Pastor John swore he would guard the secret and the politician gave him the telephone number and address of a certain establishment in the town’s backstreets.
