An Chuigeann

There was once a woman living in Carron. She used to give butter to a priest. One morning the priest was waiting for the butter. He sent his servant to the woman she was making the churn. The boy saw the hand of her dead husband in the churn, he went home and told the priest. The priest said he would take no more butter from her.
