  1. Milk Stealing

    Share Share Post
    One night a man was going home from the city and when he was passing a certain man's farm he saw two men walking through the fields and they were carrying a spancel between them they had milk in the spancel. Next day when the people of the farm were milking the cows they had no milk, and so the man milked them and got no milk, and so this told him what he saw. So they found out the people that took the milk from them.
