He went up one of the pillars and began somer-saulting between the two pillars a women went to the chaple to confess her sins to the priest, when she looked up and saw the man she said to the priest have I to go through this form. The priest said to her thinking it was the confession of her sins "of course you have". Oh; said the woman "Well I am afraid I will have to go to hell", so I could not do that.
