    He threw it carelessly into a barrel in the barn and he forgot about it. But when he was going to make the butter he spent hours at it but could not make it.
    Some time after this when he was cleaning the barn he tried to lift the barrel but he couldn't. Other men helped him and when he opened it he found it was full of butter. The woman had taken it in the rope but when he got the rope the butter came with it.
    Butter-milk is used for baking and some people drink it.
