The witch that was transformed into donkey

Antón the sacristan went to Ordizia on one occasion.

At night on the way back home, in the surroundings of Umarki a donkey appeared , walking in front of him.

Antón the sacristan wanted to climb onto the donkey, and he did.

When they reached the crossroads of Urkuola the donkey was heading towards Urkuola and the sacristan, on the contrary, wanted to continue upwards.

He could no longer endure the attitude of the donkey and stuck a knife in its back.

The donkey hid in Urkuola with knife and everything and the sacristan continued on foot to his house.

Then the vicar said that they should go to Urkuola to give the last sacraments.

The vicar and sacristan left for Urkuola. There was an old woman who was sick.

When she saw the sacristan the sick woman turned away from him and did not want to confess.

In the end vicar and sacristan left without giving the last sacraments.

On his way home the sacristan told the vicar what had happened to him earlier near Urkuola.

Then the vicar understood why the sick woman had not wanted to see the sacristan and what illness she had and returned to Urkuola again; but alone. And then that woman confessed and then died.
