- (continued from previous page)One night there was one of these teachers teaching in a house. When the time was up the teacher went to the door to go out and he said something when he was going out but they did not understand him. He was not long out when he returned again and he said to the man of the house that he saw a strange thing in the sky. The man was trying to find out what he meant but the teacher did not tell him for some time.
At last he told the man, he said that he saw a cross in one of the stars in the sky and he said that was a bad sign for one of his daughters. He said that his daughter was going to steal everything that would come before her.
