    20. The Well at Bruff
    long ago there lived in Bruff a priest, who could work miracles. There was a well near Bruff, and it ran dry. It was a great loss to the people. The people asked the priest could he do anything with the well. He told them that to be all at the well the following Sunday evening. A Protestant minister living in the district, told the people not to believe in the priest. That Sunday evening all the people were at the well, and the minister was there too. The priest took out his prayerbook and began to read. After a while water began to appear on the dried sands, and the water flowed as strong as ever. The people turned to the minister, and said to him "What do you think of that?" "Well" said the minister "it is a good trick if you were able to do it".
