But it was for from Amidya - day's journey, walking. It was about a day's journey. So he arrived, he went to Amidya (sic!). He rented himself a house and settled there. He settled there, but he soon realised that they were Christians [and] Christians have a cross. The woman would wear a crucifix on themselves. He saw that it was an idol. 'What can I do?' he said, 'O my Lord, how can I live here? Every day I will arise and see these women [who wear] an idol around their necks! I'll have to find a way to solve, to straighten out this situation. What can we do, how can we live here?' He arose, one day [when] he was walking on the road, he saw a crucifix. He saw the cross and he said, 'Aha! Now I'll teach them a trick or two!'. There were no toilets there. We went into the countryside behind the village by the water - there was a river. There this river flowed, so there [by the] river they would sit down and do what ... What did he do? He defecated in a certain place and he stuck this crucifix in his faeces. And he came and shouted for help, 'Mukhtar, mukhar!', a mukhtar is the elder of a village. Do you know what a mukhtar is? Mukhtar means the village elder. 'You son of a bitch, you're the mukhtar! Don't you exercise discipline, don't you discipline your women? Come and see what has happened! A fire, the village is burning, the village is burning! So everyone heard "the village is burning!" They came with shovels, with spades, they came with water to extinguish the place [on fire]. 'So it's burning? What?' 'Over there, yes.' They went to fetch water, with buckets, everyone with his bucket in his hand to go to the river and fill it up and put out the fire. They thought that the village was really burning, They came and saw that there was no fire! 'Mirdo, there's no fire.' He said, 'Come and I'll show you,' he said to the mukhtar. 'You can't see. I'm telling you: come and I'll show you!' He took his hand and led him to the place where he had defecated, he took him to his faeces. He said, 'Ha! You see, your god is in excrement. How can it be that the village isn't burning? It's all your fault. If you had disciplined them, if you had shouted at them, they would not have done this. A woman sat here and defecated. It fell into her excrement [and] she didn't notice.' From that day, the mukhtar told the priest to make it known in the church that women were not to walk with a cross showing but they should put it inside. They should put them inside, so that they do not come out into the open. So he had peace. Now it was over. Even though they had a cross, it was inside [and] he didn't see it. He had peace.</p>
