  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a woman churning. When she was about fifteen minutes at the work, another woman came in and sat down by the fireside, and started to talk about the weather and (other) other things. After about ten minutes she kindled her pipe and went off home without ever leaving a hand on the churn.
    The other woman kept churning about an hour and a half but no butter came on inside that time.
