    for the priest but failed to find him
    They left very disappointed
    After a little while the priest came out
    of his hiding place and partook of some
    little refreshment which the baker had
    prepared
    Before the priest departed he thanked
    the baker and asked him to wish for something
    The baker wished for riches
    In a short time he was the richest man
    in the locality
