to their dams, as is customary with
them, to drink milk. When Patrick and his sister saw this, they ran
quickly to prevent them. The girl fell, and her head struck against a
stone, so that death was nigh unto her. As soon as Patrick perceived
that his sister was lying down, and that death was nigh unto her, he
wept loudly; and he raised her up immediately, and made the sign of the
cross over the wound, and it healed without any illness.
(Nevertheless, the signs of the "white wound" would appear there.) And
they came home as if no evil had happened to them. Another time,
Patrick was with the sheep, when a wolf took away a sheep from him.
His nurse reproved him greatly therefor. The wolf brought the sheep
whole to the same place on the morrow; and the restoration in this way
was wonderful--viz., the wolf's dislike regarding the habitual food.

When Patrick's nurse, therefore, saw him magnified by God in prodigies
and miracles, she used to love him very much, and would not wish to go
anywhere without him. One time his nurse went to milk the cow. He
went with her to get a drink of new milk. The cow [became mad] in the
_booley_, and killed five other cows. The nurse was much grieved, and
asked him to resuscitate the cows. He resuscitated the cows, then, so
that they were quite well, and he cured the mad cow; and the names of
God and Patrick were magnified through this miracle.

There was a great assembly held by the Britons. He went to the
assembly with his nurse and his guardian. It happened that his
guardian died in the assembly. All were hushed into silence thereat;
and his relatives cried, and his friends wept, and they said, "Why,
thou _gilla_, didst thou let the man who was carrying thee die?" As
regards the _gilla_ moreover, he ran to his guardian, and placed his
hands about his neck, and said to him, "Arise, and let us go home." He
arose forthwith at Patrick's word, and they went home safe afterwards.

The boys of the place in which Patrick was nursed were wont to bring
honey to their mothers from the bees' nests. Then his nurse said to
Patrick: "Although every other boy brings honey to his nurse, you bring
none to me." Patrick afterwards carried off a bucket to the water, and
filled it, and blessed the water, so that it changed into honey; and it
healed every disease and ailment to which it was applied.

One time the King of Britain's steward went to command Patrick and his
nurse to go and clea
