Father Carton was speaking to a group of second graders about the
resurrection when one student asked, "What did Jesus say right after He came
out of the grave?"   It was a question of great theological importance, but
Fr. Carton had to explain, in words suitable to his young audience, that the
Gospels do not tell us just what He said.

The hand of one little girl shot up.  "I know what He said, Father," she
insisted.

"And what was that?" asked Fr. Carton.
"Tah-dah!" the girl exclaimed.
