    is raining the rain won't come through that hole. It is said that once upon a time a tinker was persecuting Our Lord and a smith was hunting the tinker.
    Then Our Lord said to the tinker that if he went to a house where there was a dog, the dog would follow him and bark at him. Then he said to the smith if there is a smith with a hole in the roof of his house, the rain will not go down through the hole.
