    Story
    The Widow and Her Son
    Long long ago there lived an old widow and her son. They were very poor. This day the old woman fell ill. That night she got very bad. Her son went for the priest to anoint her. After a while the priest came and he asked the boy if he had a blessed candle in the house. "No father" said the boy, would the old lamp do you.
