- There was a man one time and he had only one son. One day he began to think that this son would be looking for the place when he would grow up. He was six years of age. The father told one of the servants to take the child to a wood and kill him and bring back his heart. The servant took the child to the weed wood but when he came to the wood there were some friends of the servant in the wood and he gave the child to them. The servant went out into the fields and killed a wild animal and brought its heart back to the father. The father was growing old and he began to repent for the crime he had committed.
