  1. Long ago there was a white cow who used to go around every morning and supply the poor people of Gort with milk. One morning she came to a red haired woman who was very cruel, and she brought out a sieve and the poor cow was not able to fill it. She laughed at her. The cow disappeared and was never seen since.
