  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There were people and they had a rath on their land, and everything they had died except three cows. One evening, one of the people was bringing home the cows by the rath and a little woman came out and asked them for the white cow, and if they gave it to her. Ever after nothing died, and the land prospered.
