    (continued from previous page)
    happened it used to take them a fortnight to fill a tub. He churned very often and they couldn't understand how they could have so much butter and not having so much before that.
    After a few months he told the priest the story. The priest said to him, ''throw it in the fire when you go home''. When he got home he threw it in the fire and it blazed up the chimney and disappeared. After that the man had the same amount of butter as ever.
