- Long ago we are told some people made piseoga.
I heard of a certain woman who tried to take her neighbour's butter.
This woman was trying for a long time to make her butter and when she was tired out a man came in, and when he saw her in such a state, he asked her what was wrong?

He asked her if she had any pins in the house?
She got some pins for him and he stuck them all over the churn.
Then he gave the handle of the churn a few twists and in a few seconds he had the butter made and at that same moment a woman ran in the door roaring and asking if somebody would take the pins out of her body.(continues on next page)
