  1. There was once a man living with a farmer. A cow died. He used to go for a walk every evening, and used to see the ghost of the cow. One evening he asked her what was her trouble.
    She said "She had a shirt belonging to a man, and she wanted to pay for it."
    He never she saw her after because she paid him for it.
