    Story
    Once upon a time there was a very poor man, one day he met Our Lord on the road. Our Lord said to him are you poor and he said I have no money. Our Lord told him to pray to the Blessed Virgin and Our Lord put five shillings down in his pocket and another day he met him again, Our Lord asked him did you get the seven and six, he said that he did not and Our Lord told him to search his pockets and searched them and he got five shillings. He met the Blessed Virgin in a few days after he said to her you owe me a half-crown.
