    Next day his master sent him down the fields to cut furge and a whirl wind came and scattered all the bushes so he got crippled he went to old Biddy early to see if she could cure him. She said if he could get a bottle of water from the three streams in Mr. O. Reillys field he could be cured, but he could never get the water from it. Therefore he was never cured.
