    Once there was a family and they used to churn cream and when they were churning every week an old woman used to come and get some of the cream and when they had it churned they had it, no butter.
    Then they went to the wise woman of the hills and she told them not to let the old woman in.
    Then the next time when they were churning the old woman came again but they would not let her in.
    When they had churned they had butter from the three weeks previous.
