      Timmy's father was a rector in a small church, and when the bishop came to visit, Timmy was very excited. The bishop arrived late in the evening, well past Timmy's bedtime, but the next morning the boy asked his father if he would be allowed to meet the important guest.
      
      His father thought about this and decided to let Timmy take the bishop his tea and wake him up. The following instructions were issued: "First, knock on the door of the bishop's room and then say to him: 'It's the boy, my Lord, it's time to get up.'"
      
      Timmy rehearsed his lines, repeating them over and over. Finally the tea was ready and he picked up the tray and headed for the bishop's room. A few minutes later, the bishop, still in his pyjamas, was seen running out the door and down the lane.
      
      The father turned to his son and said: "What happened?"
      
      "I'm sorry," said Timmy. "I was so nervous I messed up my lines. I knocked on the door and said: 'It's the Lord, my boy, your time is up!'"
