Sometimes a person gets dirt into his eye, which sometimes causes great pain. That person goes to a woman who lives in the district, and by some power which was left to her, she can take the dirt out of the eye, and the person goes home cured. This cure has to be made three times, on one Monday and two Thursdays. This is how she makes the cure. She gets a cup of clean water, and then she says some prayers. Then she takes a drop of the water in her mouth and whatever is in your eye comes into her mouth, which she throws out, and then your eye is cured.
