- A Religious Story.
Once upon a time a priest was going on his way to a sick call. When suddenly the horse stopped, and the priest saw a bug wall in front of him. He knew that it was the devil. He said some prayers and the wall disappeared so he went on.
When he reached the house when the person was dying he heard very loud rough singing. The man was dead. It was the devils singing because the man was dead before, the priest got there.
