    There was a King and he was sinking a pump and he had the Giobán Saor working at it. The Giobán Saor was down in the hole and the King's soldiers put abig millstone down in the hole to kill him. In the stone there was asmall hole and it fitted in over head. He came up out of the hole with the stone on his shoulders. The water overflowed aformed abig lake. The Giobán Saor dried it up with his breath.
