A  pastor  concluded that  his church was getting into very serious financial troubles.  While checking the church storeroom,  he discovered several cartons of new  Bibles that  had never been opened and  distributed.
So at  his Sunday sermon, he  asked for three volunteers from the congregation who would  be willing to sell the Bibles  door-to-door for $10 each to raise  the desperately needed money for  the church.
Jack,  Paul and Louie  all raised  their hands to volunteer for the  task.
The  minister knew that  Jack and Paul earned their living as salesmen and were likely  capable of  selling some Bibles. But he had  serious doubts  about Louie who was a local  farmer, who had always kept to  himself because he was embarrassed by  his speech  impediment. 
Poor Louie  stuttered badly. But, NOT WANTING TO discourage Louie, the minister decided to let  him try anyway.
He  sent the three  of them  away with the back seat of their cars stacked with Bibles. He  asked them  to meet with him and report the results of their door-to-door  selling efforts the following  Sunday.
Anxious to find out  how successful they were, the  minister immediately asked Jack, "Well, Jack, how  did you make out selling our Bibles last week?"
Proudly  handing the  reverend an envelope, Jack replied, "Using my sales prowess, I  was able  to sell 20 Bibles, and here's the  $200 I collected on behalf of  the church."
"Fine  job, Jack!" The minister said, vigorously  shaking his  hand..."You are indeed a fine salesman and the church is indebted  to you."
Turning to Paul, "And Paul, how  many Bibles did you sell  for the  church last  week?"
Paul,  smiling and sticking out his  chest, confidently replied, 'I am a  professional salesman. I sold 28 Bibles  on behalf  of the church, and here's $280 I  collected.'
The  minister responded, "That's absolutely  splendid, Paul. You are truly a  professional salesman and the church is  indebted to you."
Apprehensively,  the minister turned to Louie and  said, "And Louie, did you manage to sell  any Bibles  last week?" Louie silently offered the minister a  large envelope.
The  minister opened it and counted the contents. "What  is this?"  the minister exclaimed. "Louie, there's $3200 in  here! Are  you suggesting that you sold 320 Bibles for the church, door to  door, in  just one week?"
 
Louie  just nodded. 
 
"That's  impossible!" both Jack and Paul  said in unison. "We are professional salesmen, yet you claim  to have sold 10  times as many Bibles as  we could."
"Yes,  this does  seem unlikely," the minister agreed. "I think you'd better  explain how  you managed to accomplish this,  Louie."
Louie  shrugged..  "I-I-I re-re-really do-do-don't  kn-kn-know f-f-f-for  sh-sh-sh-sure," he stammered.
Impatiently, Peter interrupted.  "For crying  out loud,  Louie, just tell us what you said to them when they answered  the door!"
"A-a-a-all I-I-I s-s-said  wa-wa-was," Louis  replied, "W-w-w-w-would y-y-y-you  l-l-l-l-l-like t-t-to b-b-b-buy  th-th-th-this B-B-B-B-Bible f-f-for  t-t-ten b-b-b-bucks---o-o-o-or---  wo-wo-would yo-you  j-j-j-just l-like m-m-me t-t-to st-st-stand h-h-here  and r-r-r-r-r-read it t-to  y-y-you?"
