- Animals Overlooked
There was a man working one day with his horse and and car and the horse fell under the car. A crowd of people gathered around the horse. A priest passed by and he asked what was wrong and they told him. He told them all to throw a spit on the horse for fear he might be overlooked. So they all did as he told them and the horse got up from himself and worked again.
