    Kentigern was the best student in the school that Saint Servan had. He was the favorite and star pupil. The other schoolboys were jealous. So they always tried to get Kentigern in trouble. The failed endlessly. One day, they tried to get him in trouble. But this time, they went too far because they harmed another living being: the robin. The robin was loved very much by Saint Servan. So the boys thought it would be funny to kill this robin and blame it on Kentigern.

    Servan was sad and angry when the boys told him that Kentigern killed his favorite robin. He asked if Kentigern could prove his innocence. So Kentigern rose the robin in the air and prayed to God that if he was truly innocent let this robin live again. And so, the robin breathed and cam back to life. This caused Saint Servan to love Kentigern even more. He valued him and helped him in every way to make him a great and famous saint. The other boys decided to quit their efforts in trying to get Kentigern in trouble.
