Story of the Holy Family.
When the Holy Family were flying into Egypt they fell among thieves and the thieves did not harm Them because they were poor. The Holy Family stayed with he thieves that night. There was a woman there and she had a child all covered with sores. In the morning the woman noticed the Blessed Virgin washing Our Lord. The woman washed her child in the water that Our Lord was washed in and he was cured. It is said that the child was the Good Thief on the day of the Crucifixion.
