Wings of Slander.
Once there was a woman who
spoke a slander against her neighbor
and repenting of it, she went to her
confessor, sayingthat she had already
untold the tale to everyone to whom
sae ’ iac * spoken it.
The priest said to her: “Go at
once into the town and fetch me a
fowl.”
Shis she did, and returning, said
to him:
“Here, father, is the fowl you be-
spoke.”
Then he said to her: “Go again
into the town, even to the market
place and p.uck me this fowl.”
Which she did as he commanded,
10 bim:
father, is the fowl, plucked as von
cade me,”
“Now,” said the priest, “go into the
town and fetch me the feathers.”
“Alas holy father, they are scat¬
tered to the four winds of heaven.”
“Even so,” replied the wise and
hol.v man, “and thus n is with the
slander you nave spoken.”
