RADIO ELEPHANT
When Barbara was a little girl, her wicked father imprisoned her in a high tower. So Barbara lived in the tower. One day a priest passed under her tower. He was singing about Jesus Christ. And Barbara heard him. "I love Jesus too," she cried. "I am a Christian."
When her father heard this, he was furious. In those days, it was against the law to love Jesus or to be a Christian. "She is not my daughter any longer," her father shouted. "Beat her until she is almost dead. Then chop off her head."
The soldiers carried out the cruel order. But suddenly angels came and carried the soul of Barbara to heaven. Or, it was the father who chopped of her head and a terrible flash of lightning struck her cruel father and killed him where he stood. Or, Barbara managed to escape. Or, she was killed before she had her period and her head began to grow. And then she became the patron saint for artillerymen.
I heard this on the radio.
