The friars were short on funds to operate their Monastery, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise some money. Soon everyone began to buy their flowers from the men of God. A florist across town felt the competition was unfair and his business was suffering.
He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not. He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. He asked his mother to go and ask the friars to get out of the business. They ignored her too. The business was doing so poorly he was close to shuttering the shop and was growing desperate.
So, the florist hired Hugh McTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town, to "persuade" them to close. Hugh beat the friars within an inch of their lives and trashed their store, saying he'd be back if they didn't close up shop! Terrified, the friars did so, thereby proving that...
Hugh and only Hugh, can prevent florist friars…
