Then the man asked if anyone was taking milk and the farmer said that his brother was taking it. Then the man said that the next evening the child would come for it to ask him if anyone was interfering with it.
    The next evening the child came they asked him and he said that a woman used to come and ask him for a cup of milk every evening. Then the ploughman thought of a plan and said to get milk from some other house and to give it to the child.
