    One day two tailor were sitting on the floor in a certain house tailoring. The woman of the house was making a churning.
    A neighbour came in for a coal and they gave it to her. When she was taking it one of the tailors cut a piece off it and threw it into a bucket of water. After a while the woman came in again for another coal and they refused her. The woman of the house was churning a long time and no butter was coming on the milk. The tailor called her down and there in the bucket was all the butter.
