- Long ago there lived in Knockatee a very poor woman. She lived in a small bothán at the foot of the mountain. The only furniture she had in her room was a large mirror which belonged to her ancestors. One day as she was sweeping the room, she lifted the brush too high and hit the mirror, and broke it. She sat down crying over her broken mirror. When she had enough cried she rose up to gather the pieces of glass, when what do you think she found? a big purse of gold. She never wanted for anything after that.
