  1. When you hear a hen crowing to cut off her head and throw her towards the north or all the other hens would take it from her.
    When a hen has the sickness to put the smoke of a pipe into her mouth she would get all right.
    When you want to stop a hen from clucking to take her and put her down under water, head and all, she would stop clucking.
    It isn't right to give a clucking hen to another without getting another hen back or all the hens would die.
