wrong man

In a tiny village in Kerala, a devout christian  breathed his last and the local priest being out of station, a priest from an adjoining village was called upon to deliver the funeral oration. 

“Ladies and Gentlemen”, began the venerable pastor with the dead body in a coffin before him, “Here lies dead before me a rare human being of this village with outstanding qualities. He was a gentleman, a scholar, sweet of tongue, gentle of temper and very catholic in outlook. He was generous to a fault and ever smiling”. 

The widow of the deceased stood up at the end of the Hall and screamed,

”O ! God ! They are burying the wrong man “.
