“One of the strangest things in Fore is a well called St. Fenchen's well.”
One of the strangest things in Fore is a well called St. Fenchen's well.If a hundred cattle are driven to get a drink ninty-nine will be get a drink and the last one will have to go back without a drink.The well drys up after the second last beast has got a drink, or if two cattle go for a drink, the first beast will get a drink, but the second will get none. It is called the well of the evil eye.- Collector
