“In the village of Piercetown, about five miles away, there was a saint long ago building a mill.”
“In the village of Piercetown, about five miles away, there was a saint long ago building a mill.” He was helped by a mason.
The mason thought the saint very foolish to build the mill, where there was no stream, and the saint got very angry with the mason.
There was a hill near by, and the saint blessed it, and a clear spring came rushing down the hill, and set the mill in motion.
The mason was caught by the wheel, as he never thought it would turn, and was killed instantly. The ruins of the mill are still seen, and the spring is still there.
