It is said that once Satan, the devil, was sitting under a tree, very sad. A saint was passing; he looked at Satan and said, “We have heard that you never rest, you are always doing some mischief or other somewhere or other. What are you doing here sitting under the tree?” Satan was really depressed. He said, “It seems my work has been taken over by the priests, and I cannot do anything—I am completely unemployed. Sometimes I have the idea of committing suicide because these priests are doing so well.”
