| Summary of narrative | |||
| Setting: | Montserrat | Protagonist(s): | a knight and the monks of Montserrat |
|
A knight owned property adjacent to the monastery of Montserrat. On his land there was a spring. The monks of Montserrat used this spring as their sole water supply and paid the knight for the privilege. The monks, greatly indebted to the knight, could not afford to continue paying for water. They prayed to the Virgin. The Virgin caused the spring to move from the knight’s property to that of the monk’s. The knight signed a deed, giving the monks the property on which the spring had been located. The monks prospered. |
