A farmer loaded his ox-cart with wood. On top, he placed his small child. Suddenly, the oxen are said to have bolted, with the small child sitting on top. In his great distress, the farmer vowed that at the spot where the cart came to a halt, he would erect a large cross in thanks. At the foot of the mountain, the ox-cart did indeed come to a stop, and as if by a miracle, the child remained unharmed.

A farmer loaded his team of oxen with wood. On top, he placed his small child. Suddenly, the oxen are said to have bolted, with the small child sitting on top behind. In his great distress, the farmer vowed that, at the spot where the wagon should come to a stop, he would erect a large cross in thanks. At the foot of the mountain, the team of oxen did indeed come to a stop, and as if by a miracle, the child remained unharmed.
