IV. HOW CIARAN TURNED WATER INTO HONEY

4. A certain day his mother upbraided him. "The little village lads,"

said she, "bring with them honey out from the combs to their folks,

but thou bringest it never to us." When Ciaran heard that, he went to

a certain spring, and he fills his vessel from it, and blesses it: so

that it became choice honey, and he gives that honey to his mother; so

she was thankful. That is the honey which was given to deacon Uis (=

Iustus) as a fee for baptizing him.
