    One time there was a blind man in Malin who was very sorry because he had not the use of his eyes.
    So he went to the priest and told him to cure his eyes. The priest cured him.
    The next day he went back to the priest and told him to make him blind again because when he saw the world the grace of God was beginning to go.
    This man was named John MacLaughlin.
