   went to the girl and he asked her what did she give away. I never I never gave anything away only a drop of milk to the Widows children and a bit of my dinner. So he told her to go back and the old woman, and the place would be hers when the old woman would die. So she went back and it was not long until the old woman died. The girl had all for her charity. When the old woman was dead she used to come back every night. The girl told the priest, he told her to sell the place, she sold the place. She gave money to the priest for the good of the first owner, she gave money to the widow to rear her orphans and only kept her own due for herself.
