  2. Once upon a time a man was going along a field and a ram came along and went to throw him just then a soldier came along and the man said to him to hold the ram until he would tie him. When he got the soldier holding the ram he ran off. He met another soldier who had a bugle. They went into a meeting house. After a while a large crowd came in. A man stood up and said that St Peter would come on the last day and blow the bugle. The soldier stood up and blew the bugle the other man stood up and said "Arise and come to judgement" the people stood up and fled in terror. The two men took all the money.
