- One day OUr Lord was being pursued by Jews who wanted to kill him. Passing by a field he saw men sowing corn & he blessed the corn & it sprung up immediately & he hid in it. The jews came along & asked the men if a man passed by & they said he passed when they were sowing it & they were now reaping it. The jews thought it too long to trace. When they were about to go off a deargadale crept out & said "nay nay" but yesterday so the Jews knew he was near, ever since if you kill the snail before it cocks it's tail you'd gain 100 days indulgence.
