Escape may lie between this pillar and that!

An innocent man was condemned to death by an unjust governor, and when the executioner had bound him to a pillar and was about to cut off his head, the victim begged he might be bound to the next pillar instead.

The executioner laughed at him, saying “what can you hope to gain so brief an interval? You might just as well let me finish my job.”

But eventually he gave way to the man’s entreaties; and while he was engaged in untying him and fastening him to the next pillar, the king chanced to pass by and asked the meaning of the large crowd that had gathered. On being told, he sent for the condemned man, who was able to convince him of his innocence, and so escaped death.

May God always bless us with such evil!

A pious man bought a cow in the market and set out for his home. He was followed by a thief who planned to steal his cow. On the way the thief fell in another man who revealed himself as a demon who planned to take the pious man’s life.

As they drew near to the latter’s house, where the cow was now tied up, it occurred to the thief that if the demon killed the pious man first, his family may be aroused, and it would be impossible to steal the cow. At the same time the demon thought that, f the thief stole the cow first, the pious man would be awakened by the bellowing, and so would escape death.

Each began to ask the other to wait and take the second place, and eventually they came to blows. The thief began to shout, ‘O Pious man, here is a demon who has come to take your life!’ while the demon shouted back ‘O Pious man, here is a thief who has come to steal your cow!’

In the end the man and his family were aroused, the thief and the demon took to their heels, and the pious man prayed, “May God always bless us with such evil” for the benefit of his family.
