Electricity comes to the monastery

After almost 1600 years the monks of Saint Anglicine monastary were given electricity. Gone were the days of working by candlelight. As the final lights were installed the foreman was touring the grounds with the acceptance committee when they came across a monk, Peter, sobbing in a corner where he had been translating stone tablets into written texts. They rushed to his side asking "Brother Peter, what is wrong?"
Holding up an ancient tablet Peter sobbed "It says CELEBRATE."
