    4. There was a farmer in Donegal and he had a lot of cows and there was two neighbours and they had only a couple of cows each. One of them went out a May morning and he looked from him to see if there was any smoke from the houses and seeing none he said, "All to me!"
    The other man came along and he said "Half to me! Half to me!" they wanted to get the farmer's butter.
