    One of the hangmen knocked the cup and spilled the water. "You my friend" said the priest to the kind man "shall live to a great age". "And you" he said addressing the hangman "shall be killed by your own hand".
    The kind man lived to a ripe old age and the hangman shot himself by mistake when he was out hunting.
