    "And where were you the second time?"
    "I was in lowerest flames and I was coming through them."
    "And where were you the last time?"
    "I was coming out the gate."
    The two boys fainted and when they came out of it again the catholic boy told the priest to banish his wife because she was the devil. The boy gave him all his wealth and the priest returned to his home.
