well. I got a good going over in the morning from old Miss Watson on account of my clothes. But the widow, she didn't scold, but only cleaned off the grease and the clay and look so sorry that I thought I would behave awhile if I could. Then MS Watson, she took me in the closet and prayed, but nothing come of it. She told me to pray every day and whatever I asked for, I would get it, but it weren't. So I tried it once I got a fish line, but no hooks, it weren't any good to me without hooks. I tried for the hooks three or 4 times, but somehow I couldn't make it work by, and by one day I asked Miss Watson to try for me, but she said I was a fool, she never told me why, and I couldn't make it out. No way. I sat down one time back in the woods and had a long think about it. I says to myself, If a body can get anything they pray for, why don't deacon win? Get back the money he lost on pork. Why can't the widow get back her silver snuff box that was stole? Why can't Miss Watson fat up? No! Says I to myself. There ain't nothing in it. I went and told the widow about it, and she said the thing a body could get by praying for it was spiritual gifts. This was too many for me, but she told me what she meant. I must help other people and do everything I could for other people and look out for them all the time and never think about myself. This was including MS Watson as I took it. I went out in the woods and turned it over in my mind a long time. But I couldn't see no advantage about it except for the other people. So at last I reckoned I wouldn't worry about it anymore, but just let it go.
