What was the miracle of St. John Bosco?

The most famous miracle associated with St. John Bosco is the restoration of sight to a young blind woman who had prayed to the saint and made a promise that she would use her vision only for things that glorify God. Another account claims that Bosco fed 300 boys in his oratory with a basket containing only 15 rolls of bread. After he had finished distributing the rolls, the basket was miraculously replenished with the original amount, so that there was enough for everyone.
