Answer:

The old woman prayed that he might live long.

or

The old woman prayed for his long life.

Explanation:

This type of sentence is called an 'optative sentence'; in such a sentence we apply the following rules:

1. Reporting verb said is converted into 'wish', 'pray'

2. That is used to connect reporting verb to speech in inverted commas.

3. May is changed into 'might'.
