    undertook the draining and the first day they worked every workman got sore eyes.
    After this some continued the labour until they got stone blind. Then the man who owned the land saw his mistake and he got men to repair the damage he had done to the well. He got a wall built around it, and from that day on he kept a man in charge of it.
