Who has a BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER-

By the name of Sarah

Raguel AGREES to LET Sarah

Marry Tobiah-but he has

Some BAD NEWS for Tobiah

Sarah has been married-

SEVEN times before

And EACH time an attempt

Was made to CONSUMMATE the marriage

The man was STRUCK DEAD

So Tobiah and Sarah get MARRIED-

BUT before they

TRY to consummate the marriage

They KNEEL DOWN

To OFFER a beautiful PRAYER to God
