- Once there lived aman who was very holy. One Winter's evening he went to the Chapel to pray. While he was going to the Chapel two young fellows saw him.
He was in the Chapel about five minutes when the two fellows came to the Chapel door. The old man was going around the Chapel saying the "Stations of the Cross".
When he reached the door the boys started jeering him saying "Look at old face of him". When the boys came away from the door their faces changed and they got very odd looking. The two boys were never the same again and they never jeered anybody after that.
