ABSTRACT

A hundred years ago in a certain poor village there lived a very poor man who had four children. And then a fifth son was born. It was summer and people were all at work. The child needed to be baptized but no one could be found to be godfather. The peasant went around for five days but he could get no one to serve. Going home,

the peasant thought it over and asked God, "Oh Lord, send me somewhere to find a godfather."
