A reporter heard about the miracle cures being performed at The Sisters of Mercy hospital. He went to the Mother Superior to get the story. The Mother told him a remarkable tale, that the secret lay in a tea the Sisters brewed using the hairs of the Koala bear. The skeptical reporter could not help but laugh, and the Mother told him she would prove it. She asked if he had any health problems, and the reporter said that he suffered from chronic headaches, and even now had one. The Mother brewed a cup of tea, dropping in a number of Koala bear hairs. The reporter sipped the tea, and presto, his headache vanished. He then said, coughing, "Mother that is truly amazing ... but those hairs are choking me ... wouldn't it be better if you put them through a strainer?

The Mother said: "Young man, the Koala tea of Mercy is not strained."
