- One night a woman met another woman who was carring a bag on her back. She asked her to carry it a little distance for her. she did, but the bag was so heavy that she could not bring it.
She opened it but it was empty. She asked the woman, what made it so heavy. She said it was the weight of her sins. the woman was pettycoatloose.
