  1. Once upon a time there was a poor woman going along a road. She was very tired She came to a house and she went in and asked the man of the house for a bit of bread. This man was very cruel and he told her to go away as quickly as she could. There was a little boy eating his dinner at the table and when the old woman went out he followed her and gave her his dinner. When he gave her his dinner she prayed that God would bless him. And so when he grew up he became a Priest and afterwards became a Bishop.
