    Story
    There was once a man who had a cow and when he used to be milking her she used to be always kicking and spilling the milk. He had one son and one day he told him to bring the cow to the fair and sell her.
    The boy took her to the fair and sold her but he did not tell the person he sold her to the sort of a cow she was.
    He took home the money to his father and he was very pleased because he did not expect as good a price as what he got for the cow.
