    go to some house and ask for three things and ask for a drink of milk. Then she would churn when she (would g) went home and they say that is the way you would steal the butter. She used to bolt the doors and would get a piece of iron and put it in the fire whilst churning. They say you would get the butter if you would put the churn down in a drain at night and churn the next day.
