“A long time ago there came to a sermon a young boy about seventeen years years old. He could never get frightened.”
(continued from previous page)that he would not get away from him. So he tied him with a cord. On a wakening the next morning he found himself half way up the stairs. None of these happenings frightened him. He started on his way home. He went into a house and the woman was washing. She gave him food and afterwards he slept by the fire. During the washing she found an eel. She put it down his back and he fell into a weakness three times with the fright.
