  1. In the County Waterford long ago there lived a little girl who was so kind and gentle that everyone loved her. When she grew up she asked her parents to let her become a nun and they gave her consent. After this she came to live in Limerick. This place where she lived was called Cill Íde. There is a blessed well there and on a stone in front of the well the prints of donkey's hooves are. She rode a donkey wherever she was going. It is said she was buying milk from a farmer in Tournafulla and the Tournafulla people put thorns on the path and she put a curse on them that they would never be without a widow, a widower, or a blackguard.
