A Story
“Long ages ago when a person used to die they used lay them out on a table.”
Long ages ago when a person used to die they used lay them out on a table. A person died and he was a cripple his head was nearly left on his knees.
They people could not straighten him out on the table and they strapped him on to it Then all of them went to say the Rosary and one person was back near his head and he out the strap with a knife and the man sprung up on the table and they all ran out they thought he was alive
