- There was once a man who had to cross a fort to his farm. He had to cross this fort every morning, and every evening to go and milk his cows. Every morning when he was returning home, a can of milk used to get spilled. This was going on for a long time. One morning when it happened, he said. "Take the best cow I have but don't spill any more milk." When the man went to milk his cows the next morning the best cow he had was dead.
