    Folklore
    In the fairs long ago there used to be terrible fighting .
    Any little difference would beat two parties and they would rise a row a person had a blind cow for instance ,and he sold her to another man and the man to whom he sold the cow discovered that she was blind he would gather a crowd from his own district and fight against the other mans party so that was the way he got back his money .
