St. Peter advises he be rewarded, and Christ grants that the tree be fruitful and anyone who climbs into it to get figs may have a bad fall. This is why one has a bad fall when one falls out of a fig tree. St. Peter enters an inn for a drink of water; but he gets wine and Christ smells it on him. But he denies it and says they can burn all the vineyards and tear down all the inns so far as he is concerned. So Christ sends plagues on the vines and it is looked down upon to enter inns. mu 1.
