    she was mad but anyhow they did as she ordered. The coulter was put down in the churn and there was a great roar and a bawl and a little black fellow jumped out of the churn and ran out in the door, and away like a shot out of a gun. They put the lid on the churn again and started to work and it wasn't long until they had plenty of butter.
