    back that evening and told Richie he fell asleep during the day and he dreamt of it, again. At that time there were crocks sold in Kileen. The lad bought one, filled it with water, and buried it in Kelly's field. Next morning himself and Richie went down to the field with picks and shovels. They were digging for a while when Richie came on the crock. He lifted it out and started to run home with it on his shoulder. When he was going in his own door the lad hit the crock with a shovel and all the water ran down Richie's back.
