The minister of the church began his service, the main character, in turn, stood in a holy place and cried. The procession was long. Many wolves happened to slaughter the wolf, so the priest prayed with the utmost seriousness, asking that the parishioner change. Unexpectedly, the penitent looked out the window and saw an amazing picture. The sheep were driven home. Then he began to shift on his feet. The priest continued to pray, and there was no end to it.
