Moving the Church Away from the Dung. On the way to church a clergyman notices that one of his congregation (cow, dog) is relieving himself at the church wall. He is angry and shouts that such a stench near the church is an offence to God. He forgets the service and runs to tell the mayor what happened.
The municipal council is convocatened and they decide, on the advice of the altar boys, to use a robe to pull the church with a robe away from the dirt. When the men pull, tear the altar boy, as their leaders, pretending to take the leadership stays behind the church. Each time they pull, he secretly shovels the dirt farther away from the church. When the clergyman sees the result he believes that the church has been moved from the dirt. Satisfied and in good conscience, he can officiates at the service. Cf. Type 1326B.
