(In a soup plate?)
In a soup plate.
(Just write his name once on a piece of paper?)
Nine times, and put it in that soup plate and light a candle and set it on it - a little short candle, fat candle. (A little short, fat candle - like they burn in the church? A white one?) A white one - that helps you get a job. Changes his
[boss's] mind.
The informant directs lighting a short, fat candle in the written-name account. The job and mind-change effects remain source claims.
