    There was a woman in Cashel and she went out on May Eve to take water from the well and the people were woundering why there was no water in the well. The next may Eve the man living next to the well stayed up and the woman came to the well. She had a book a candle and she was reading out of the book and the man went over to her and asked her what she was doing and she said she was praying and he hunted her home.
