    Another Story
    This is a story told about the tinkers that they cannot stay in any place more than three days. The tinkers that made the nails to crucify Our Lord on the cross and they made them very thick and Our Lord said that ye may be as thick as ye cannot stay long in any place any longer than three days, and as well your successors.
