One day Tyndale was walking to a distant village to visit his relatives. He walked and walked, and night found him on the way. And there was some village nearby, and Tyndale decided to spend the night in it. I knocked on one door and another - there was no room anywhere. Finally I got to some mistress.
- Is it possible to spend the night with you?
- Why isn’t it possible? Come in. My pop has already stopped. Lie down together in the upper room, you won’t be bored.
Tyndale entered the house. The hostess prepared beds for both of them. When Oka left the room, Tyndale asked her:
- Mistress, wake me up early. Before the sun rises, I need to get to my relatives.
- Okay, I'll wake you up.
“Don’t wake me up,” said the priest, “until I wake up myself.”
Early in the morning the hostess woke up Tyndale. He got up and, half asleep and in the dark, put on the priest’s clothes instead of his clothes.
When the sun rose, Tyndale was already approaching the village where his relatives lived. He saw the priest’s cassock on himself, stopped and began to curse:
“What a stupid woman—it was my priest who woke me up instead!”
