George had an oportunity to tender for the printing of bibles for distribution from the Vatican, they required bibles in six languages and needed them in a hurry. George made a few phone calls and offered a price. His bid was successful and he set about arranging the printing. He then realised that the printer he was using could not bind the books so they had to be sent to someone else for that. In the rush to get the job done things got mixed up so that none of the finished bibles ended up with the old testament in the same language as the new testament. Although the bibles were useless George still shipped them and met his deadline. They were accepted and George was paid. It was only later that the mistake came to light and George recieved a complaining letter part of which read. "By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God Is this the way you repay the Lord, O foolish and unwise people The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom let the wise listen and add to their learning,  and let the discerning get guidance." George chose to ingnore the letter and jetted off on a long holiday where he could not be contacted.

Can you find how much George made this time?
