    A long time ago there was a well in Shandrim and one day when the people went down for water the well was dirty.

    A long time ago there was a well in Shandrim and one day when the people went down for water the well was dirty. The next day when they went down, they saw two fairies standing there but there was no well to be seen. The fairies told them that the well was taken away because they made it on top of their house.
