NK - had to pass this on

[Langston, David R]

Some friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a 
small florist shop to raise the funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers 
from the "men of God," the rival florist across town thought the competition

was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He 
went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his 
mother to ask the friars to get out of business. They ignored her, too. So 
the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug 
in town to "persuade" them to close. 
Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they

didn't close shop. 
Terrified, they did so, thereby proving That Hugh, and only Hugh, can
prevent 
florist friars.
