- Once there lived a man in this district who came from another part of the country. He had to do his own cooking.
One day he went into the house of an old woman.
She gave him a piece of an oaten cake and a pat of butter on it. He ate the butter and he gave her back the oaten cake and he said "Thank you, Mrs. and here is your board."
He had never before seen oaten bread.
