    Story.
    Skerries, Co. Dublin.
    Outside Skerries there is a Protestant landowner, who, has a beautiful mansion and many acres of land. In one of the fields there is a well. Many Catholics believed that this well was a holy one, so they visited it often. The landowner did not like this so he covered it up. A few days later the water flooded the mansion so he had to open it again.
