  2. Story Told by Old People

    Share Share Post
    A young girl remained on the fireplace one night, when all had gone to bed, to wash her feet. It was late about 11.30 or so and as she was washing, a big lump of soot about a stone weight fell down and into the basin. She left the basin and all there and ran off inside her mother [?]to bed and when morning came, the basin had been emptied and cleaned and there was no trace of soot on the hearth.
