"Well, it wor a real pretty tale--it wor 'bout a man called Jesus.  A lot o' women brought their babies to Jesus and axed Him to fondle of 'em, and take 'em in His arms; and there wor some men about--ugh!  I guess as _they_ wor some'ut like father--and they said to the women, `Take the babies away as fast as possible; Jesus is a great, great man, and He can't no way be troubled.'  And the mothers o' the babies wor going off, when Jesus said--I remember the exact words, for we was got to larn 'em off book--`Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and don't forbid 'em;' and He tuk them 'ere little babies in His arms and kissed 'em.  I guess as some of 'em worn't too clean neither."
