< peasant is driving along q heavy road one autumn day. when his cart sticks fast in the mire. Just then St. Kasian comes by.
 Help me. brother. to get my cart cut of the mud," says the peasant,
 Get along with you" replies St. Kasian Do you suppose I've got leisure to he dawdling here with you?"
 Presently St Nicholas comes that way. The peasant addresses the same request to him. and he stops and gives the required assistance.
 When the two saints arrive in heaven. the Lord asks them where they have been.
 T have been on the earth says St Kasian. and I happened to pass by a moujik whose cart had stuck saving. Help me to get my cart out But I was not going to spoil my heavenly apparel"
 T have been on the earth says st Nicholas, whose clothes were all covered with mud: "I went along the same road and helped the moujik to get his cart free"
 Then the Lord says. Listen, Ka- sian, Because thou didst not assist the moujik. therefore shall men honor four years. But to thee, Nicholas. thee hy thanksgiving once every because thou didst assist the moujik to set free his cart. shall men twice every year offer up thanksgiving. - From the "Legendui" of Afanasief.
