XLVII. HOW CIARAN WAS SAVED FROM SHAME

20. At another time when the good shepherd was feeding his flocks,

three poor men met him. To the first of these he made over his cape,

to the second his cloak, to the third his tunic. But when they were

going away there arrived certain men, leaders of a worldly life. As he

was ashamed to be seen of these without raiment, the Lord Who helpeth

in need so surrounded him with water that except his head no part of

him could they see. But after these men had passed by the water soon

disappeared.
