Gossip

I like this story. I think the priest is  very clever. Gossip is truly a bad thing. Gossiping is a fatal action that can  ruin one persons life reputation. You can never really gain back the reputation you once had if someone gossips about you. I think that the analogy fits perfectly. As the pillow is a person and the feathers are his reputation. I will try my best never to gossip about someone knowingly. If i was the priest i would tell the girl that shge should be ashamed of herself. Then, i would make her apologize to the person she was gossiping about and try to fix what she had gossiped about.
