  1. (continued from previous page)
    morning the old woman of the house used get up very early and go out into the neighbours field and in the cows track she would leave the churn dash and say
    "In do bhó-sa ar mo bhó-sa"
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
  2. IIII
    It is not lucky to make a
    churning at night because it is
    said that the fairies bring it
    and that it is very hard to
    get back the butter again. If
    a person came into the house
    for any utensil he would not
    get it until the churning
    would be made. Nobody would
    be allowed to take iron or
    fire out of the houses
