  1. One day a girl went out into a Raheen and gathered some sticks. When she came in she put two pots on the fire to boil and put the sticks under them. When the pots began to boil they jumped off the fire, and down to the middle of the floor. When the girl awoke the next morning the sticks were growing in the Raheen the same as if they had never been picked.
