    to work and they got the man asleep. They said they would make a fool of him. They wakened him and asked
    "What brought you here you are in hell" The man got very frightened. The miners than said. If you gave us a pound we will let you go. The man gave them the pound. Then the miners put a wrap round his face and led him out to the road.
    He went home very pleased. The next morning he said to himself he would go to Mass and do penance for getting out of Hell. He went to Mass that Sunday. On that day the priest had a sermon on Hell and he began to say. " For out of Hell there is no redemption. The man stood up in the seat and shouted "You are a lier Father I got out of Hell last night for a pound."
