Sister Mary Catherine, a devout young woman, was not progressing spiritually as much as she wanted. She decided to enter a monastery where all the Sisters took a vow of silence. The day she joined the monastery the head of the monastery told her:
"Sister Mary Catherine, from this point on you may not talk, not one word."
So, Sister Mary Catherine kept her vow from that day on. For months and months and months she said not a word. After she had been there for five years, she was called to meet with the head.
He said to her: "Sister you have been here for five years. You may say two words. Two words only."
She then said: "Bed's hard."
Then she went back to her work, keeping silent. For months and months and months. After five more years she was called back to meet the head, who told her:
"Sister, you have now been here for ten years and you may now say two words."
She replied: "Food's bad."
She then went back to work, keeping silent, for months and months and months. Five more years passed..., she had been there 15 years! On that day, the head of the monastery called for her again. He told her:
"Sister Mary Catherine, you have been here now for 15 years. You may say two words."
She said: "I quit!"
The head paused a moment and then replied: "Well, maybe it's just as well. You've done nothing but complain since you got here..."
