  1. One time Saint Finian went into a house and they gave him food and shelter for the night.
    Next morning when he was going away he gave three them three wishes.
    So one them day both of them went to the fair and the woman saw a nice jug and she said I wish I had that jug and immediately she got it. And then her husband came back and he said where did you get that jug and she told him and he said I wish it would stick to you and it stuck to her hand and then he had to wish that it would come off and that was his three wishes gone.
