“Long ago there was a boy and he was blind”
Long ago there was a boy and he was blind.So he sat by the roadside to die.A man passing that way saw him.The man told the boy to go to the castle that was near him,and that he would be cured there.
The boy went up to the Castle,at midnight a great number of cats came.They began to talk about the great cure that was in the water that was at the side of the castle.
They said,If some of the water was rubbed to a sore,it would be cured when the cats went away the boy would around until he got to the well.So he rubbed the water to his eyes and got cured.
