Like many others in the world, there was a man and a woman who were
over-burdened with children, and were very poor. The man used to
go to the forest every day to get wood for his family. His wife was
on the point of being confined. One day he was in the forest, and a
gentleman comes to him, and says:
"What are you doing, friend?"
"I am looking for wood to support my family."
"You are very poor, then?"
"Yes, yes."
"If you will make me godfather to your next child according to your
law, I will give you a great deal of money."
