- One day when the Holy Family were flying out of Bethlehem into Egypt afraid of Herod and his soldiers they saw men sowing corn and they told them if the soldiers asked them did a man woman and child pass this way to say that they saw them the day they sowed that corn, and the grain sprang up and was fit to reap. The next day the men were cutting the corn and the soldiers came on and asked them did they see a man, woman and child and they told them that they saw them the day they put in that corn and they thought it was two or three months ago.
Then the wren said "Inde Inde" and the soldiers set out on horse back to pursue, our Lord.
