    out of his house. Then he went away to some other place and got work. One evening when he was going home from his work he was going past a priests house and just as he was going past he saw the priest that came to his house to talk to him. He thought that he would go and ask the priest to forgive him and he did. Then he told the priest about the bad luck that came over him. The priest told him to go to the Chapel and be holy and he would have good luck again. The man did and saved his money. Soon after that he was able to buy a small farm and had enough of money until he died.
