"Over the great door of an old, old church, which stood in a quiet town of a faraway land, there was carved in stone the figure of a large griffin...a great many plans were proposed to prevent the Griffin from coming into the town...someone said it would be a good thing to destroy the stone image so that the Griffin would have no excuse for entering the town..."
"...When the Griffin found that the Minor Canon had left town, he seemed sorry, but showed no disposition to go and look for him...The griffin now thought that he ought to visit the sick and the poor; and he began to go about the town for that purpose. The effect upon the sick was miraculous. All, except those who were very ill indeed, jumped from their beds when they heard he was coming, and declared themselves quite well."
