Summary
Sabbath observance in North Uist.
During a bad harvest people from North Uist went out to rick corn on a Sunday. Next day, all the ricks had fallen. The people who didn't go out on Sunday got all their corn secured but the other peoples' corn was ruined. Nobody in Uist has gone out to work at the corn on a Sunday since then.
This story was told in order to warn people not to break the Sabbath.
