  1. Stories of the Holy Family

    Share Share Post
    One day the soldiers were looking for Jesus and one of them said "I wonder did he pass this way atall." Then the daradaol put up his head and said "inde inde" which means yesterday. It is said that you should kill every daradaol you see.
    One day Our Lord was fleeing from the soldiers. Blood was dropping from him. The robin came along after him and covered the drops of blood with leaves and when the soldiers came along they could not find which way He went. That is why people do not like to kill the robin.
