- One time there was a man who had a lot of butter yield from milk. It began to fail, and after some time he had no butter. Every morning the man used to see a "clock" creeping before him to the cow and he did not know what to do. One morning the man was going to milk his cows he was going very quickly when he heard a roar. He looked down and he saw that he had killed the "clock". Shortly after there was a woman who lived in the next house dead and she had the man milk with her. After that the man had his butter back again.
My father told me this story.
