In the past a large group of weavers gathered every night in the hamlet Lauspeltz. One of those nights one of the girls said: “I´ll bring water from the mountain fountain that´s next to the Iturriotz farmhouse” and the others insisted she couldn´t , so they made a bet. Thus, the girl took a jug and headed towards the fountain while the others remained at the entrance of Lauspeltz under the moonlight.

From time to time they shouted “Where are you?” and she answered, “I´m here .” But, suddenly, the responses ceased.

Shortly afterwards a burst of air arrived at the entrance of Lauspeltz and someone said:

The night for the night owls and the daylight for the day people.

The girl was never heard of again. (Gaueko)
