Off he went out into the fields, of(f) course he did not know how to milk, and he thought to himself what would he do with the stool. He was trying to put the cow sitting on the stool, but it failed him. He came home and told the farmer that the cow would not sit on the stool for him, the farmer laughed heartily.The farmer found out that his turf was stolen, so he told the man to go out to the rick to watch this night.
