   239 A Story There are many religious stories told by the old people of my district and one I have heard is as follows. About 70 years ago there was a woman that never went to Mass and when anyone asked her why she did not go, she would say that she forgot it was Sunday. The priest went to see her and asked her why she did not go and she said she forgot it was Sunday and he told her to put in a box every time she went to Mass so the priest back in twelve months and found six nuts in the box.
