    the grave-yard thieves were hidden in a vault and some of the party were away stealing sheep "Is he fat"? said a voice from the vault. "Fat or lean I am tired of him" came the reply. With these words he threw the Minister into the vault and made off home. The shock frightened the Minister's pains away and he ran after the boy.
