The fisherman and St Andrew

Long ago, in Scotland, when Christianity was a new religion in that country, there was a Christian fisherman named Fergus who, discovering that St Andrew had been a fisherman prayed to him to help him catch fish.
Fergus was not a very good fisherman you see but, after praying to St Andrew, suddenly his nets would always be full of fish.
Unfortunately, the pagan fishermen, seeing how well he was doing, were very jealous of him and so, one night, they stole his net and smashed up his fishing boat.
And the next day, when they went out to fish upon the loch, they all laughed and said, "That Christian, Fergus  won't catch many fish today".
As they were fishing, however, suddenly a storm rose up with thunder and lightning, raging winds and towering waves and the storm made all their boats capsize and the men, because they were far out in deep water couldn't swim to shore and started to drown.
But then, suddenly, as they were helplessly splashing about and calling to all their celtic gods for help they saw Fergus in his boat approaching and, throwing a fishing net into the water, he shouted to the drowning fishermen, "Catch on to my net quickly and I'll save you".
Then, when all the fishermen had grabbed onto the net, he pulled them onto his boat.
But the pagan fishermen, seeing Fergus with his net and boat, were all astounded.
"Where did you get a new net and boat from so quickly?", they asked.
Fergus explained that, when he had woken up that morning, he had found his net missing and his boat smashed to matchwood but that, sinking to his knees he had prayed to St Andrew and St Andrew, appearing before him surrounded in an aura of gold had told him, "Fetch down the spiderweb that hangs in the corner of your room and bring it to me".
And so he had done as the Saint had instructed and when he had brought St Andrew the web he had turned it, with a touch of his hand into a fishing net.
Then the Saint had asked him to fetch him a peapod from his wifes kitchen.
And, when he had, the Saint had split the pod open and emptied out the four peas from inside and when he had the peapod had become a fishing boat big enough for four men.
And some of the fishermen listening to Fergus's story, when they heard of this miracle, threw off their pagan charms and converted to Christianity then and there.
But the others went instead to their pagan druid and complaining about the Christian fisherman said that he needed to be taught a lesson.
And so, the next day, when Fergus was fishing on the loch, the Druid played upon his bagpipes and, with their music, summoned up the monster who lived beneath its waters so that he would eat the Christian.
But when the monster swallowed up the Christian fisherman, net and boat and all, the St Andrews cross that was around the fishermans neck started to grow.
It grew so big that it grew too heavy to carry round his neck so Fergus took it off and it grew so big that it wouldn't fit in his boat so he threw it overboard.
But then it grew so big that it stuck in the monsters throat, choking it and would not get any smaller until, opening its mouth, it had spat the Christian fisherman and his boat back out.
Ofcourse, when the druid saw the lake monster spit the Christian back out and turn away from him he played upon his magic bagpipes again.
But this time, because of St Andrews intervention, the bag upon the bag pipes only blew up bigger and bigger until the bag burst with a very loud bang in the druids face and the lake monster, turning upon the druid ate him up instead.
And, after hearing of this second miracle, the other fishermen converted to Christianity. Just like St Andrew, you see, Fergus had become a fisher of men.
