    The well went dry until the trout came to life again. No man or woman was after that. No man ever saw the trout after that. The most curious thing about this well was that it flowed in one spout one year and in an other spout the next year. The water changed from the spout it was flowing in and it never flowed in that spout after. No one ever had anything to do with the well when the water changed.
