    Once upon a time there lived a man, and he was at a mission, and he fell into a terrible illness, and he was almost mad so he was brought home and put to bed and after weeks there was no improvement and if any one went in to see him ,he would make an attempt to bite them ,and when he got better ,he went as a cart driver through the streets because he had no talk.One day he was out,and he met a Priest and he gave him a few medals and told him to go home ,and his parents was surprised when they heard him talking because he belived in the Blessed Virgin Mary.
