  1. (continued from previous page)
    When the people heard this they got frightened and they ran away. They thought she had come back from the dead.
    She afterwards became a Catholic. She wanted her son to become a Catholic but in vain.
    One day he was ploughing the garden, she said to him, "You will sow wheat, you will bind it and thresh it, you will bake bread with the flour, but you will never eat the bread".
    When he baked the bread, he thought he could eat it, but when he ate the first bit of it he died.
