  1. Stories of the Holy Family

    5. When our Lord was once hiding from the Jews He came along a road where he met a robin and a daragdale. He said if the Jews asked did he pass by to answer "no." The robin said no but the daragdale said he passed by. And since the daragdale was never able to fly but crawl on the ground. Every time you kill a daragdale there's a mortal sin taken off your soul.
