Section 1
At one time, a peasant's wife requested help from the local priest. The peasant's wife was more than willing to spend the entire day with the priest, who yearned to do so.
"Well, dear woman, I've been thinking it through, and I know how the two of us can spend a whole day together," he stated one day. On Wednesday, convince your spouse that you are ill and lie in bed writhing in pain. Continue in this manner until Sunday, when I shall preach that everyone who has a sick family member- a sick child, a sick spouse, a sick parent, a sick sister, a sick brother, or anyone else- should pay a visit to Mount Cuckoo in Italy.
One can purchase a peck of laurel leaves there for an kreuzer, and that person's sick child, a sick spouse, sick parents, sick siblings, sick brothers, or anybody else will be instantly healed.”
The peasant's wife responded, "I will do so." A as a result, she went to bed on Wednesday groaning and pretending to be sick. Her spouse tried everything to make things better for her, but it didn't work. When Sunday came, the wife of a peasant said, "I must be close to death because I am truly miserable, however before I go, let me hear the sermon the priest is going to give this morning."
“Oh, sweetheart, you can't go outside,” the peasant replied. “You might become worse if you stand up. I'll go to the church, pay attention to detail, and report back to you whatever the priest says.”
The peasant’s wife answered, " That sounds good, ho and listen carefully, and then tell me everything you heard.”
The peasant then went to church, where the priest started his sermon. He said that anyone who had a sick child, a sick spouse, sick parent, sick sibling, or anyone sick at home should travel to Mount Cuckoo in Italy, where a peck of laurel leaves costs one cruiser, and that person's sick child, a sick spouse, sick parent, sick sibling, or anyone sick at home would be instantly healed with the help of it.
None of the others were more joyful than the peasant, who went to the priest right after the mass and requested the Kreuzer and laurel sack. He left and, even before entering his house, he shouted, "Hurrah! You are as good as healed, my beloved wife. The priest said today that anyone who has a sick child at home, a sick spouse, a sick mother, a sick father, a sick sister, a sick brother, or anyone else ought to make a pilgrimage to Mount Cuckoo in Italy, where a peck of laurel leaves costs one cruiser, and this person's sick child, sick spouse, a sick mother, a sick father, a sick sister, a sick brother, or anyone else will be cured straight away. ” And with that he set off.
He had barely left when, shortly before his wife got out of bed and the priest showed up. However, let's wait a little while and find out what happened to the peasant. He was running to get to Mount Cuckoo as quickly as possible when he encountered a kinsman. This kinsman, who sold eggs, had just come back from the market where he had just sold them.
The kinsman said, "God bless you! Where are you heading off to in such a rush?"
