- The people who sat piseog's put eggs into the well and pulled ropes along the grass. There was once a woman making butter, and she was at it from morning till night but still the butter was not made.
She went out into the field and brought in a piece of the plough, which is called "coulter" and put it into the fire. When she went out into the yard afterwards she saw a woman who was crying, she said that all her hands were burning. She told the woman that if she took the pieces of iron from the fire to that the butter would be made.
