1. The Written Confession or the Man and the Priest

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Once upon a time there lived a man all alone. One night as he had just gone to bed, he heard somebody rattling at the door. There suddenly entered the room a priest who had died some time previously. He pointed to the picture which was hanging on the wall, but the man fainted and when he recovered, the priest had disappeared. This happened for three nights, until at last the man became courageous, and when the priest pointed to the picture, the man looked behind it and found a piece of paper on which was a written confession. He handed it to the priest without reading it. The priest then told him that when he was alive he had received that confession and had placed it behind that picture intending to destroy it at the first opportunity. Unfortunately however he had forgotten to do so, and he had died soon after. For years he had been guarding it lest anyone should find and read it, and the seal of confession would thus be broken, but now that the matter had been put right he could rest in peace.
