- There was a man cutting hay one summer's day in a meadow near the village of Herbertstown. He was cutting the hay on the border of a moat. In the evening the servant girl brought out a jug of tea and a couple of cuts of bread to the man. The tea was too hot and he left it beside the moat to cool. When he thought it was cold enough he went to the jug to drink it. The jug was in the same place but the tea was gone and the bread was also gone. When the man say that his tea and bread were gone he said. "That it may do good to whoever took it". He heard a voice answering him and the voice said "Thank you".
