    begged for mercy but the invaders were deaf to their pleadings. The Abbess prayed to God for mercy and as an answer to their prayers the invaders were struck blind. They promised never again to attack the Convent. They were told to go to a well near by and bathe their eyes in it, they did so and their sight was restored.
    From that day till this people who have sore eyes go to the well to pay rounds, and sometimes their sight gets cured.
