| Setting: | Tudia | Protagonist(s): | a pilgrim to Tudia and some thieves |
|
Many pilgrims go to Tudia to make generous offerings to the Virgin. A man offered his beehives so that the church would have plenty of wax and honey. The beehives were placed behind the church and guarded by a poor woman. One night, some thieves came and stole the hives. When the people discovered that they were missing, they asked Mary to avenge the crime. A knight, who was a magistrate, came to Tudia. He ordered the thieves to be pursued. He set off to catch them, and found them hiding with the beehives. |
