A Catholic priest, a Protestant pastor and a rabbi are arguing over which one is the better convert. Each tells the story of the more wonderful than wonderful, until they finally decide to make a decisive test: the best of them to convert a bear to his own religion.
Two days later, the Catholic priest calls the other two to come to him. He shows them a bear in the churchyard and proudly tells him, “I went into the woods and went until I found his bear. When he noticed, he started grumbling at me, but I started reading it to him from the Bible, calming down a bit and sniffing around. I sprinkled it with holy water, and it made me as guarantor as a lamb. I also brought it home to build the faithful!
The others reflect on what they have heard. Three days later, the Protestant pastor invites the others to visit. When they enter the house of prayer, their feet are rooted to the ground: a huge bear sits in the bench and listens to the psalms with a devout image. The pastor told his story: “I was looking for a bear in the woods, too. When he saw it, he ran to me, growling. I did not move, but began to sing psalms, hanging my gaze to the sky. For this the beast lay down at my feet and listened to the holy songs, then followed him home and has lived here in the house of prayer ever since!
The other two are amazed, then they leave quietly. A week goes by when a Catholic and Protestant priest receives a phone call from a doctor at a local hospital to visit the rabbi urgently.
They go in and see in amazement that the rabbi is lying unconscious on the hospital bed, tied up from head to toe, with his hands and feet in plaster, and several infusions dripping into his arms. They crawl quietly beside his bed, at which point the rabbi soon opens his eyes and whispers:
"Yeah, the bear ... Well, I guess ... maybe it wasn't a good idea to start paying for circumcision."
