The legend of the Lessoc fountain:
Colin, this Lessocois who, returning from the Château-d'Oex fair around midnight, after caressing the various bottle, was poorly received by his wife. She insulted him, accusing him of having drunk too much and letting Cocotte, his mare, die of thirst. The drunkard got up to water the poor creature. The moon in the sky played with the clouds and the water in the pool reflected it. Cocotte drank precisely on the silver disk which disappeared never to reappear. Colin thought she had swallowed it and that his mare was lost to him. What a great misfortune!...
