Sister Catherine Ann decided to give her share to the first poor person she saw. As she said this, she looked out the window and saw a man leaning against the telephone pole across the street. He certainly looked poor.
She immediately left the convent and walked toward the man, feeling sure that he had been sent by heaven to receive her charity. Pressing the $50 into the man's hands, the kind sister said, "Godspeed, my good man."
As she left, the man called out to her, "What is your name?" Shyly, she replied, "Sister Catherine Ann."
The following evening, the man returned to the convent and rang the bell. "I'd like to see Sister Catherine Ann," he said.
The nun at the door answered, "I'm sorry, but she's in the chapel. May I give her a message?"
"Yes," said the man gleefully.
"Give her this $100 and tell her that Godspeed came in second at the horse race!"
