A small group of Franciscan friars lived in a very old friary
on the outskirts of town.  These friars were very poor, in fact,
they were so poor that they were in danger of losing their land.
So they put their heads together in order to figure out a way
to earn some money.  

The friars looked around their friary and noticed all of the
beautiful wildflowers which grew on their property.  So they
decided to set up a floral business.  Their prices were very low
and soon their business was booming.  

Business was so good that the other florists in town became
jealous.  It seems that the Franciscans were taking business away
from them.  Therefore, the town florists banded together and 
decided to hire Hugh O'Malley, the biggest thug in town, to
"convince" the Franciscans to close down their business.
Hugh went and visited the friary, and the Franciscans, being
peace-loving servants of Christ, agreed to leave the floral
business after only a little bit of convincing.  

Shortly thereafter, the florists made a generous donation to
the Franciscans, and the friars used the gift to beging making
and selling fruitcakes.  So all ended well.

And the moral of the story:  only Hugh can stop florist friars.
