    There was once a woman living in Monivea and she was always going to the neighbours for milk and when she would go hoe she would churn the milk and get butter and the neighbours couldn't get any butter. One day she went to the neighbours and they were churning and she got milk and they put a red coal under the churn and they got butter on it and when the old woman went home she got no butter.
