[00:18.73]The Bells
[00:25.79]教堂钟声
[00:34.49]There once was an evil priest
[00:37.27]who did not fear God or man.
[00:40.65]His duties for the church
[00:42.55]included counting the offerings
[00:44.86]and ringing the bells to summon people to Mass.
[00:49.40]But his heart was filled with greed,
[00:52.81]and he began to take advantage of the good people
[00:55.59]of his parish.
[00:58.86]The priest stole money
[01:00.30]out of the offerings to keep for himself,
[01:04.02]and when he had filled a chest full of gold,
[01:07.19]he killed a man and buried him with the chest
[01:11.06]so the murdered man's ghost would guard it.
[01:14.36]Anyone who tried to dig for the treasure
[01:17.04]would be devoured 1 by the skeleton of the murdered man.
[01:22.05]The evil priest planned to return to Spain
[01:24.89]with his ill-gotten treasure,
[01:27.44]but he fell ill with a fever
[01:29.58]a week before his ship was scheduled to leave.
[01:34.31]On his deathbed, the priest repented 2 of his crime.
[01:38.89]He swore to his confessor that his soul
[01:42.13]would not rest until he returned the gold to God.
[01:47.55]The priest died before he could reveal the place
[01:50.99]where the treasure was buried.
[01:53.69]As he gasped 3 out his last breath,
[01:56.17]he said: "Follow the bells.
[01:59.08]They will lead you to the treasure."
[02:03.14]The Padre who attended the dying priest
[02:05.94]did not heed 4 his words.
[02:08.33]But the sweeper who was working in the hallway
[02:11.50]at the time of the evil priest's death
[02:13.71]was struck by the notion of buried treasure.
[02:18.92]He was very poor and wanted a better life
[02:22.25]for himself and his family,
[02:25.29]so the sweeper determined 5 to take the treasure
[02:27.70]for himself.
[02:29.70]Each night for a week,
[02:31.56]he took a shovel 6 and dug in the monastery 7 gardens,
[02:35.67]searching for the priest's treasure.
[02:38.72]He found nothing.
