Three Augustinians began selling tulips on a street corner across from a flower shop. The shop owner spoke to the brothers and mentioned that it seemed inappropriate for a church, unlicensed, to take customers away from a local business. The brothers contended that they were only selling tulips to help support their congregation and that surely customers would still frequent the flower shop if they need anything other than tulips. "Oh, what am I doing?" asked the shop owner, "Of course I can't deny good charity for the church."

A couple of days went by and the shop owner noticed people walking around with tulips and roses and immediately knew that the Augustinian brothers were taking him for a ride. The shop owner spoke to the brothers again and said that roses were not part of their agreement and that they're overstepping. The brothers explained that God spoke to them and wanted them to sell roses. The shop owner wasn't about to question their faith and angrily walked away.

A few more days went by and the shop owner didn't see the brothers. "Maybe they've moved on," he said, relieved. The next day, the Augustinians were back, but they had built an entire stand. They were now selling all sorts of flowers in direct competition with the floral shop. Even worse, since every sale supported a local congregation, they were getting way more business than the flower shop ever had.

Furious, the shop owner goes over to the flower stand and is about to yell at the Augustinians when one of the brothers holds up his hand to silence the shop-owner and says "God is good all the time." The shop owner leaves in a huff and goes straight to the pub to share his woes.

The bartender asks what's wrong and the shop owner explains his problems. The bartender listens, astonished at the gall of the supposedly pious men. The bartender says, "You know what you need? A fixer. When a bar opened across the street from me, I hired this guy, Hugh, to talk to the owner for me."

The shop owner calls Hugh that night and explains his situation. Hugh agrees to help out and the shop owner decides to take a two-day vacation while his new fixer goes to work.

When the shop owner returns to work, he notices that the Augustinian cart is completely destroyed and the flowers are all trampled. He thought that seemed a little excessive, but now he was free to conduct his business in peace again. After opening his shop back up, he slowly began regaining his customers now that the brothers were gone. By the end of the month, business was back to normal and the shop was bringing in as much money as ever.

This is because only Hugh can prevent florist friars.
