    "Folklore about the Feet-Water."
    There was a poor woman there long ago, and one night she forgot to throw out the feet-water.
    So when she went to bed, the good people came in and they wanted to kill her, and she said she would throw it out every other night.
    They went away and the following night, she threw out the feet-water and when she went to bed she heard the voice outside the door saying. "Feet-water open the door" and the feet water answered outside, and said. " I am as far out as yourself"
