    he had two heads. They went on then suddenly the man changed into a big dog.
    When the man saw he flung his Prayer book at him but he would not let him pass. Then the man flung his beads at him. Then suddenly the dog went away in a ball of flame and took away the wall which was near. Then the man went home and died.
    If you are ever going by that place with an old person you may see him bless himself.
