    Once upon a time there was a priest in this parish. He would go round from house to house. Now at that time there lived a man and he wanted to get the priest into prison.
    Now this man had a daughter and she loved the priest. One day she took the guards away a distance from the prison and she gave them food. They were rather tired to go back again. The little girl opened the prison and she let the priest out. One of the guards saw him crossing the wall and he fired a shot. He killed the little girl.
