“Once upon a time a woman began to churn one day.”
Once upon a time a woman began to churn one day. When she was a while churning, there came a witch in. The woman churned to night but no butter appeared. The witch asked her about her butter. The woman said she could churn her milk in a half an hour. The witch took away the luck of the butter.
She went to the priest and got it back again. There was another witch that used to go about praying bad prayers. Every house she would go to, they lost the luck of their stock.
