    to get milk from her She kept on milking until she began to bleed. From that day forward the poor cow never gave a drop of milk, as she died the follow day, and St. Monaghan was very lonely for her, and it was only then that that woman, and all the others all will realised how useful she was when she was alive. If the woman was as wise when she had finished milking She was very sorry for what she had done to this poor-cow.
