    On Good Friday A.D. 33 he saw the sun darkening and the earth getting queer and he asked his druid what was the cause of it. They told him that Our Lord was being put to death. He got so angry that he went to the wood and began hacking the trees with an axe. The brain-ball fell from his forehead and he died immediately.
