   the old man's pocket. He did so and he took out alot of sovereigns. Jesus told him to go down to the sea and throw out the money. He did not like to throw it out. When he came to the sea he only put out some of it and kept the rest. He came back to Our Lord and he was asked did he throw it out and he said he kept some of it. Our Lord told him to go back this time and not to come back a second time without throwing it out. He went back and he threw it all this time. When he came back he was asked did he throw it out and he said he did.
