  1. The old people used to put the hoof of an old cow in the cow's stables.
    There was once a man and his neighbour was bringing the butter from him. He was telling the blacksmith about it. The smith told him to come for him the next day he would be making the churn. He send for the smith. The smith came and he brought a hammer and a nail with him. He struck the hammer in the churn and the man began roaring. If he struck the churn three times he would kill the ma. The man came in with the butter.
