“On one occasion a woman was coming from visiting a friend's house. She was passing Menbanon Bridge (which is three miles from our school) and saw gold sovereigns lying on the road.”
On one occasion (when) a woman was coming from visiting a friend's house. She was passing Menbanon Bridge (which is three miles from our school) and saw gold sovereigns lying on the road. She did not know whether it would be right to lift the money or not. So she took off her shawl and spread it over the sovereigns. She knelt on the shawl and began to pray. When she had finished praying she lifted the shawl and found that there was no money there at all. In place of the money she saw a number of little stones.- Collector
