Response depends on how you ask

A man asked a priest -
Father! Can I smoke while I pray?

The priest got Angry.
No, you can not do that," he said.

Another man asked,
Father, Can I Pray while I smoke?

The priest said -
Sure ...... You can pray any time.

There is no difference in both scenarios
But the response depends on how you ask

    Maybe the words of the question imply what is the man’s priority - prayer or smoking.
