Description:Gabro tells us about an incident, when he and his friend lost a cow. It was in the summer and they were very thirsty. When they were looking for the cow, a woman, with a bucket, was pictured before their eyes, at a well. They run to reach the woman to drink water, but the woman dissapeared by the time they reached the well. When they returned to the village, they met the woman and told her that she was at the well, and the she dissapeared when they came to see her to drink water. The woman explained that she had not gone out of the house that day. Gabro believes that the woman depicted at the well might have been a djinn.
