    (continued from previous page)
    The boy asked him what did he want and he said that he was murdered by a Jew a long time ago and that his body was buried under the floor in the next room.
    The priest told the boy to lift up his bones and to bury them in the grave yard.
    The next day the boy lifted up the bones and buried them in the graveyard and they never saw him again after that.
