- There was once a man and there was nobody living with him. There was grass growing on the house and the man did not know how to take down the grass because he wanted to give it to a cow. He was trying to put her up on the house by catching her by the horns.
A man came along ans asked him what he was at and the man said that he wanted to put the cow up to eat the grass. The man said he would take down the grass if he paid him for it. The man went up on the house with a hook and took down the grass. When he was on the house the other man then saw his mistake and he had to give the money to the man.
