   Long ago lived a girl named Nora Hehir, who had a crippled foot. One night she had dreamt that if she went to St Senans Blessed Well and performed fifteen round, she would be cured. So she went to the well and performed the rounds.
   After this she threw down her crutch and was able to walk home.
