- When the holy family were going from Bethlehem to Egypt there were men sowing corn in a field. Being hungry they asked for some and they gave them some. That day the corn grew up and ripened and the man decided to cut the corn the next day. The next day Herods soldiers passed by and they asked the men did they see a man or woman and child passing by and they said they did not. So the soldiers went on their way until they came to where a man and woman and child were working in the field. The soldiers asked them also did they see a man or woman and child passing by and they said they did not. So that was the end of the story.
