    A Story of the Holy Family
    One day the Blessed Virgin, St. Joseph, and the Child Jesus were going along a road. It was night time and they looked for lodgings.
    No one left them in for a nights lodgings, and they didn't know what to do.
    The Blessed Virgin knocked at a poor woman's door, and the woman opened it. They asked for a nights lodgings but the woman said she had no bed, but that she had wet straw outside, and that it wouldn't be any good to lie on because it would give them a cold.
