ABSTRACT

This little old man had seven sons and seven daughters-in-law. Their neighbors bothered them terribly. "You don't go to confession and you haven't sent your sons into the army."

So the seven sons and seven daughters-in-law got on their knees before him. "Go to confession, father," they said. They persuaded him. But he wouldn't go with other people, he went by himself, through the water as if over ice.
