St. Neots's fish

St. Neots's fish
a church in Cornwall has a stained glass window illustrating the story of this saint. Three fish swam in a sacred pool and the saint had heavenly permission to take one at a time, with the understanding that the supply would never fail. When the saint was ill, a follower Barius took two fish from the pool, either from laziness or in attempt to succour his master. He boiled one and baked the other. The saint was most upset and used bad language it is averred but since this was in Cornish the content is unclear. He ordered his acolyte to return the fish to the pond where they rapidly revived despite being cooked. One fish being removed and fed to the saint, he rapidly revived
