    There was a priest who forgot to say mass and he died. The parish clerk was out very early in the morning and he met the priest riding on a horse. The priest said to him to go to the Church and to answer mass. The parish clerk went and answered the mass. When mass was over the priest said to him that he would be with him in 12 months and that he would gain heaven for him. The clerk died before 12 months but the priest was never seen after.
