Once poor people were on a trip in the sea, When they reached the middle of the sea, Then a great storm overtook them, Broke their ship on the stones. The poor people were dying there. Then one of them, the poor man, did beg: — Oh Nikkola, we are dying here! May your mercy be upon us, save us! If you save us, then we will arrange prayer feasts in your honour, White lambs, like white chickens, we will slaughter for you. — At that hour, the celestials Before God were all together in a gathering. A brown ram was slaughtered by him for a feast. There Nikkola heard the prayer of the poor, He immediately disappeared from among the celestials, He descended into the sea to the poor people, From the sea he transports the poor people to the land. And from the ship not a single plank, not a single nail He did not let disappear, let him be praised. Meanwhile, the feast of the celestials was ready… Here Nikkola appeared all wet…
