  1. Once the Jews were after our Lord to capture Him and crucify Him.
    It was supposed in that time that the animals could talk as well as men.
    As the Jews were searching for Him they met some of these animals and asked them if they had seen Him pass by.
    They said 'no' for they had suspicion that the soldiers were after Him to capture Him.
    The soldiers went their way and then they met three men digging with spades They asked the workmen if they had seen the Lord pass by. The workmen said 'no, we did not see Him.' Just as one of the workmen dug a scraw with the spade a Dara Díol came out of the scraw and said "He passed here yesterday.' The soldiers immediately put the three workmen to death and followed our Lord. They captured Him and crucified Him.
