One day, a pike captured a loach in such a corner that it had nowhere to go. Now he sees that trouble is inevitable, and says:
“Have you already confessed, dear mother?” “No.” “Then go, I’ll confess you, and then you’ll eat me.”
She asks him:
“Where are you going to confess to me?” “Yes, there is a church here.”
So she listened to him, they went to the church. And he brought her to the top and said:
- Follow me.
They climbed into the top, but she couldn’t get back out, and for the loach there were seventeen doors in that top; So he got out quickly, ran around the top and said to her:
- Sit, holy man, until the fur fisherman comes!
