Perhaps the one was a priest, and so 'his father'?

Hi Shin,
No, he was his biological father. Smiley

That's what I had thought too. Is it right?

Not quite. Try once more. Here is a cue that will crack the whole thing wide open.

You may have come across this already.
I have read several versions of the same. Here is one version:

"A battle ship was on exercise at sea in bad weather.  It was foggy. Just after dark the Navigation Officer spotted a light in the distance and reported to the captain that there is a ship which seemed to be on a collision course with theirs! The captain immediately ordered his Radio Officer to send a message to the other ship:

"Change course 10 degrees to the South. We are on a collision course."
The reply  came back: "No! You change course 10 degrees to the South!"
After two more exchanges, the Captain was furious, and came thundering into the Radio Room,
grabbed the microphone and shouted,
 ""I am a battleship. Change your course 10 degrees to the South!"
After a brief moment of silence, there was an  even-tempered reply:
" Change your course, I am a lighthouse"!  Grin

My Daily Meditation Book concluded that we can no more challenge God than a ship can oppose a lighthouse.
We always have to conform with the Will of God. It is for our own good.

A penny saved is a
Government oversight.

The older you get, the tougher
It is to lose weight, because by
Then your body and your fat have
Gotten to be really good friends.

Did you ever notice: The Roman
Numerals for forty (40) are 'XL'.

The easiest way to find
Something lost around the
House is to buy a replacement.

He who hesitates is probably right.

Did you ever notice: When you
Put the 2 words 'The' and 'IRS'
Together it spells 'Theirs....'

Read me forward, I am the highest point of everything.
Read me backward, scarcely anything is deeper.
