- A mother & her married daughter lived near each other & had their cows grazing in the same common. They went to milk their cows each morning & evening together. One morning the mother forgot her noggin & the daughter told her to wait till she was done & she could use hers. When the daughter had finished milking her cow she handed the noggin to the mother.
