    (continued from previous page)
    the priest himself got ill and the doctors said he would die unless he would give one long hearty laugh. The old woman heard this so she said she would go to see him.
    After great difficulty she was admitted into the sick room where the priest lay dying going over to his bedside she uttered the words which the priest had uttered over the pig. On hearing her, the priest burst into a hearty laugh and was cured immediately.
