    and you will find a cow in it said the little man, "Treat her as kindly as if she were a Christian. The man went back to his house and into the byre. He saw a cow she was as white as snow. He fetched out his wife with piggins. The cow filled every one of them. Every year for two or three years the cow gave them two white calves. One morning he was driving the cow to the fair she threw up her heels and ran off and all her calves followed. Then he was poor again.
