- In the penal days the soldiers used to kill all the priests they could find.
As a priest was teaching the people, he lit a red candle, some of the grease fell to the ground. Just where the grease fell a well sprang up. When the soldiers came along they fell in one after another into the well. The soldiers were well tricked.- Collector
